[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering if anyone has any ideas.

Daughter age 14 *almost* fainted today while seated about halfway through 3rd period class.  No trigger she can think of; class was just normal stuff, nothing to make her swoon. No sudden pain.  She had eaten breakfast and drinks a lot of water.  She wasn't standing up suddenly or anything like that.  She's not ill, no fever, normal weight and blood pressure.

Just was sitting, paying attention to classwork and she said she felt a rush of heat, started sweating profusely, and the world went dark -- couldn't hear or see for about a minute or two, put her head down on her desk and came back after a few minutes.  Felt ok after about 20 minutes.

(I did take her to the pediatrician who suggested maybe she was dehydrated so try to drink more.)

Just wondering if this has happened to other kids or adults for that matter?  I know for sure I have never just suddenly felt faint while minding my own business sitting in a meeting or something.

This happened to a friend in law school. Right in the middle of contracts. Stress + not sleeping + not eating enough. [/quote]
