Can seizures early in life by high fever, but not epilepsy cause frequent fainting spells later in life?
My sister had a few seizures during her toddler years by a high fever. She rules Epilepsy and everything seemed fine, but since she was 11 years old shes passed out of the blue. Today my 19-year-old sister is passed at the table. I was not there, but my mother said, she shook her head and just press the table. What could this be?
It is possible, but they aren’t necessarily related. Febrile seizures (seizures in young children due to a high fever) sometimes cause brain injury, somewhere around 5% of the time. It is possible that there was something done that causes her to pass out, but I don’t think it would go unnoticed for 10 years.
I know different types of anemia can cause fatigue and even fainting. Have they checked that?
