Abstract
A 51-year-old man presented with symptoms of syncope on consuming solid foods. He had a 5 year history of intermittent symptoms on eating only solids and his cardiovascular investigations revealed bradycardia during food ingestion. He was treated by insertion of a pacemaker with cessation of his syncopal symptoms.
