My teen son fainted on the evening he has all 4 wisdom teeth out.
He was on computer eating some soft foods. He walked to livingroom said he was not feeling well when he collapsed, fainted, his body was tight and his eyes were NOT rolled back but were glassed over. EMS came and said it may have been from the vicodin or surgery. Pulse rose upon standing when they checked him but BP stayed same but low.
This happened when he was 2 yrs old, after a bug bite and again in November 2008 when he woke up one morning said he had a slight headache, he was urinating and he passed out, body locked up. Again EMS felt like he was ok and we didnt need to transport.
He had a brain scan when he was 2 after fainting but hasnt seen a doctor for this otherwise.
I hear of things like Prolonged QT and I worry. My sister is wearing a heart monitor right now to check for Prolonged QT's (she is 42)
Is this typical fainting or could it be something heart related?
