My 2.5 year old daughter fainted today while playing with her older brother. First time this has ever happened. She came to and seemed really tired and slightly disoriented, this lasted roughly an hour. Not too sure what to make of it. Hoping to get the ball rolling tomorrow with our pediatrician?

I am 14 years old and have a serious fainting problem. I’ve fainted almost 10 times since September. I’ve been to the cardiologist and they gave me a heart monitor, my heart’s fine. It only happens in school and is usually in the morning. I’m going to the neurologist next week because the pediatrition thinks it may be a very low case of epilepsy. (In this case, petite mal). I would like to know if anyone has an answer. It’s getting really annoying. Thank you.

my husband's 8 yr old daughter has frequent fainting spells after which she sleeps for a few hours and is perfectly fine but with no memory of it. it has happened in school and whilst outside. she has had 24 hr heart monitor and brain scan all of which showed nothing. she has since had a test on her kidneys and the results show white cells and test needs repeating. is this common, could it be serious or is it at all common in girls of her age. would it matter that she has a tiny appetite and frame. thank you

I am researching causes of fainting in Toddlers. My 3 year old grand daughter has had atleast 3 episodes that she losses conciousness. I was not present with the first incident. The second time she got as stiff as a board, her eyes rolled up in her head and than she fainted. She came out of it with in a few seconds and then was very pale and weak for a half hour or so. The third time was within four months of the first incident. It was early in the morning and she walked up to me as she became very limp and said Grandma I feel very tired and then lost conciosness. She regained herself within seconds but stated vomiting and was pale. After the second incident she was tested by a cardiologist who found a slight arythmia. What should we do next! Thanks for any insight.
