[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not dismiss as "normal." As the afib poster points out, healthy teenagers should not be regularly passing out. Run tests, see specialists (because most doctors are morons).[/quote]

She passed out once, four years ago. This second time she got a little dizzy.

If you are prone to fainting you will quickly recognize the feeling and learn to sit or lie down or put your head between your legs when you feel it coming on. This reduces any sort of fall or injury that might occur if you do pass out. I’ve only injured myself once—and that’s because it was my first time fainting and I just stood there not knowing what was happening (and hit my head when I fainted).

I had a friend who had a heart problem. Her fainting was completely different. She just lost consciousness wherever. One time she was walking down the stairs at school. One time she was doing her hair. She was injured badly after each fall because it was so out of the blue. She could have been driving and killed someone. This is of course very serious and she was hospitalized quickly (after those two incidences).

I don’t think a doctor is going to worry much if you say my daughter got dizzy while hot in a crowded store. But def go ahead and ask because that’s what doctors are there for.
