Hi, just some advise. Does anyone else suffer fainting episodes, my son fainted twice in the space of 20 mins at school, docs are not sure whats the cause.

hi, my name is denise and I also have fainting spells and my doctors do not know what the cause is some of them think that it could be my heart but they are not sure so my doctors told me that I have to just deal with it and be careful. [smiley=huh.gif]

Usually fainting is caused by a drop in blood pressure - I have personally never experienced it, but if your son has MM it could be a sign that the blood is not flowing through well enough at certain times. But I am not a doctor so do not know

And Denise, as said in another post I highly recommend you change your doctors

Thanks, he's going to have a seziere scan next monday to rule out epelepsy and other things. He had heart surgery when he was 5 months and going for a check up in june but his heart is fine. he does need further surgery on his left side as only had right side done. Going to see his consultant next month to get him checked out.
