by emmaloodeedoo, Nov 06, 2007 06:44PM
hello i am 13 years old. for about 5 months i have been experiencing fainting episodes. i am told that i space out thirty seconds before i actually hit the ground then i am out for 5 to 10 minutes and i wake up. the thing is i don't remember anything from the hour before. i don't even know what it feels like to faint. i have been to doctors and have gotten tests done but everything has come out normal. do you have any idea what it is?

Do you experience any other symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, etc.?
Fainting spells could be a symptom of a seizure attack. If you haven't done so, consult a neurologist to evaluate your symptoms as soon as possible.
Good luck.
I can understand how desperately you want to get rid of it.
Fainting usually occurs due to autonomic reflex, wherein decreased heart rate and drop in blood pressure cause further drop in oxygen to brain and you lose consciousness and fall.
Do you have any dizziness, lightheadedness, nausea, changes in vision or hearing, or a feeling of warmth before such an event?
Children who have fainted need to be seen by a health care professional to rule out serious causes and to recommend therapy to limit or eliminate further fainting events.
You should see a Pediatric Cardiologist and Neurologist at earliest.
