Are the symptoms of WPW more complex?

by bucsfootball, Jun 09, 2009 06:40AM
My 13 year old son was diagnosed with WPW about 8mths ago.  He has a very complicated medical history including Hirshsprungs Disease and a jaw malformation.  
He suffers from migraines as well as bouts of dizziness, blood in his loose stool and nausea.
The doctors seem to think that these symptoms are related to the WPW.  My understanding is that this is incorrect.
I am very confused and I'm not sure how to proceed.
Can all this other stuff be related to WPW?

I don't know about the doctors your son is seeing.....the ONLY thing that I know of that is related to the W-P-W is the dizziness. The reason for that is because W-P-W is an extra electrical tract in the heart; at times, electrical impulses jump onto that extra tract and cause the heart to beat at a faster rate than normal which, in turn, causes less blood to reach the brain which causes the dizziness.

hmmm this is very interesting. I too have trouble with my bowels but only within the past 2 years. I had a ct scan though where they look for cancer, but I wonder if they could look for something like this too? Or is this only found in children/babies?
I was just recently diagnosed with WPW and had a failed ablation procedure. I am a 32 year old female.
