Dear Grandmother,
I will refer you to a group I found for my son's "faints". It is www.stars-us.org If you do not find the information you are looking for you can email them and they will assist you in finding the answers you need. Fainting can be a symptom of more serious things so it should always be checked out, but it is a common occurrence for some. It is caused by a lack of oxygen to the brain and can vary from a simple faint to seizure like activity. It may just be a common form of Reflex Syncope which is indeed nothing to worry about as long as he is not hitting his head. Is it connected to SIDS? I'm not a medical professional so I don't know but I don't think so. I'm just a mom dealing with a teenage son going through the same type of thing. I hope you get your answers!
