My seven year old caucasion daughter has been passing out for the past year. She sometimes has seizure like symptoms (shaking and trembling of arms and legs) but not always. She often has a headache and stomach ache prior to blacking out. Sometimes she vomits before or after these episodes. Currently she has had a head ache, stomach ache and bloodshot eyes. She has had six blackouts in the past 16 months. She has had two EEGs, two EKGs, an MRI, a CAT, a heart echo, and blood tests. All have come out fine.
Hello, Have her doctors considered abdominal migraine as a cause? It is most common in kids from 5 to 9 years old. Just like headache migraines, it leads to attacks of 24-72 hours, with abdominal pain, vomiting and sometimes other neurologic signs. Please check with your Pediatric Neurologist. Just like regular migraines, we don't know the exact cause or mechanism.  Some people feel it is stress, others do not. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
