[quote=Anonymous]I have atrial fibrillation with a vasovagal link and was just like your daughter at that age. My arrhythmia is triggered by hormone spikes, thyroid imbalances, dehydration, and high altitude. It’s controlled by keeping my thyroid levels just right, continuous birth control pills, and increased salt intake during exertion or travel. It took 20 years for doctors to diagnose me even though they tried to catch it in EKGs and 30 day monitoring multiple times. Although the situations in which it happened were often different, after the fainting episodes, the common element was a wildly pounding heart. If I were advising my mom 30 years ago, I wish she would have done a complete blood panel to check thyroid levels, iron levels, etc and also made sure I had a cardio referral. Wishing your daughter well; fainting, especially in h.s., made me feel so vulnerable. Good luck![/quote]
