Yeah, I know! I told them that I didn't think I hit my head. I felt around to make sure. No one actually checked though. They didn't even look closely at my eyes. I guess they could see that I was acting normal, but these are things you'd think they'd check. At the time, I was pretty scared and I basically trusted that everyone knew what they were doing. We thought it was best to rule things out, hence agreeing to the head CT. Now I realize it all could have been avoided. It was probably a combination of my body dealing with the cold, only sleeping a few hours, not eating since dinner the night before, and touching my glands that caused me to faint.

Thank you for the link. Lots of good information there.
 
My God daughter has passed out for no apparent reason 26 times in the last year and a half. She has had every test in the book. I will let her know about the sodium thought...any other thoughts?
 
My daugther who is 16 has been having "near-passing out" esipodes for a few years. In December 2009 she was at basketball practice and felt a little light-headed and sat on the bench. She completely blacked out and fainted and fell on the floor. We took her to the hospital and they said to follow up with a neurologist and a cardiologist. She had blood work done to check for anemia, low-blood sugar, diabetes, etc. Everything was normal. She went for a CT brain scan this week, but we didn't get results yet. She is scheduled for an echocardiogram and a cardiology appointment in 2 weeks (the earliest we could get in). She is not allowed to take gym or do any phyisical activity until she is cleared by the cardiologist. I will post if we get any conclusive findings.
 
For Anna, CT brain scan was normal. Echocardiogram was normal. Cardiologist cleared her for full activity. I guess I will tell her to drink more fluids and up the salt intake.
