My 18 year old daughter has been troubled with blinding headaches which
frequently but not always are preceded by periods of "fuzziness" and
collapse. Fuzziness and headache are always situated dead centre of
forehead She recently collapsed and was found to be leaning over head
down under water in her bath.The Attacks are not precipitated by
exercise and over the past week she has had at least one and up to
three in one day.EEG and CT scan are normsl AS is her ECG.she has a
tilt test arranged for two months time.On acouple of occasions coming
out of the blackouts she has been literally terrified and unable to
speak. During blackouts she tends to have a pulse of about 110 b.p.m.
initially. She has just been started on Prozac by the cardiologist. Any
advice please

Would suggest she seek a referral to see a neurologist.

At His service,
