If you aren't taking BCPs, which can cause fainting I believe and your female hormones aren't out of whack, please ask your doctor to refer you to a cardiologist, or more specifically an electrophysiologist, for the conduction of a tilt table test to see if you can get a diagnosis. And I hope you got a chance to visit the dysautonomia forum I put a link to above where you would have the opportunity to meet community members who are fainters, such as those with NCS (neurocardiogenic syncope)!
Hi today all remaining blood tests came out ok.I did b12,other vitamins in blood tests,iron test,thryoid blood test and hormones tests.
I have the feeling that i dont feel like doing anything and i cried allot as i am worried that this fainting might happen to me whilst i am with a patient (im a physio therapist).My husband who sometimes suffers fro mdepression told me that i might have anxiety and depression and that is why im feeling restless.
Hi thansk for your replies. Yes t he ydid an eeg and since I felt that was going to faint they ruled out epilepsy. THe last time I fainted was 4 years ago when i was pregnant.
Now since yesterday my head is clear but still im feeling tired. Today they took more blood and are doing a hormone test.
Im no doctor. but this sounds to me, like an epileptic seizure.
my daughter had child epilepsy where she would shake etc, but afterwards she would be incredibly tired. and larthargic for a few days.
She had many tests, MRI, CT scan and EEG, all of which came back clear.
Yet she had over 30 seizures before being put on medication.
My cousin, also had epilepsy. but no one knew for a long time, as she often woudl faint at home, and wake up, thinking she had collapsed out of exhaustion. one day, she fainted while holding her baby, and woke up to find the baby under her, with a broken leg. baby was put in hospital in a brace, and while there, my cousin had another fainting attack, infront of a doctor, who then realised it was actually seizures she had been having all this time.
Had the doctors considered epilepsy at all with you?
Did they check your ferritin (iron stores) and circulating blood iron levels? Did they conduct a tilt table test on you? One thing fatigue can come with is iron deficiency.
Please check out the dysautonomia forum, where a number of fainting community members are active.
