Fainting episodes - #19723

Lawal Feyipitan Michael

Since about 21days ago, until about 140minutes ago, my 11 years old daughter suffers 2 - 4 fainting episodes each day. Although the girl is generally active and lively, the fainting experience comes with no signal/warning. It could be while talking, on the way to the rest room, at school, while lying on the bed, etc. She eats normal, and live life normal. Honestly, every other thing about her is normal and good. In fact, sometimes she eats more than expected. She goes to toilet once or twice daily, and her poo is normal. If you watch her from far, you won't believe anything is wrong with her. It is when she suddenly passes out, only then you will know something is wrong somewhere. As taught in the hospital, we use CPR to resuscitate her instead of rushing her to the hospital each time the fainting occurs. As it is, we the parents can hardly take our eyes off her since we are warned to ensure resuscitation soonest. This is taking tolls on our health already, since we have to keep checking up on her even at night while sleeping. We've stopped her from going to school for 2 weeks in row now, she barred from all works. She is allowed to talk, play with her sister - mainly talking and joking, watch TV, etc. But what ever requires energy exertion, she is barred from such. ECG test showed "POSSIBLE MYOCARDILA ISCHEMA (ANTERILATERAL) and EEG test concluded THE EEG RESULTS INDICATE A NORMAL RECORDING. HOWEVER THE MANAGEMENT OF THE PATIENT'S CONDITION SHOULD BE GUIDED BY CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS". The cardiologist handling the case has placed her on TEGRETOL for 20days, taking a tablet per night before bed. Today's dose will be the 6th, but with no significant change yet experienced. We are getting frustrated, yet scared by the day. We need all the help we can get urgently! Please, what can be done to STOP THE FAINTING? I am Lawal F. M. Email - mfeyipitan@gmail.com

Hi. What is her current weight ? How was her milestones development ? As per Ayurvedic prospective it can be Raskshay due to which she might have such symptoms kindly give her more of coconut water, coconut malai, A2 cow’s ghee, amla juice, pomegranate juice, etc. More of Ajwain, hing, jeera in her diet to improve her Digestive power because if Digestive power (Agni) is weak it won’t digest food which result into inadequate Nutrition.
Dhatri avaleha or chavsnprash can be given on 1 tsp regularly to improve her body strenth. Both are purely herbal formulation.

Hello,

I understand this must be a very stressful time for you. To help guide you further, could you share if your daughter has any history of stress or anxiety, and whether she experiences any symptoms like dizziness, headaches, or nausea before or after the fainting episodes?

Also, how is her diet—does she prefer any specific foods, and how are her sleep patterns? Lastly, has there been any noticeable change in her energy levels or emotional state recently?

Given the seriousness of your daughter’s condition, it’s crucial to prioritize medical intervention above all. While Ayurveda offers support for long-term wellness, your situation undoubtedly requires immediate and specialized medical attention. It’s very important to continue working closely with your cardiologist and perhaps seek a second opinion from another specialist if improvements aren’t seen soon. Perhaps inquire about varied diagnostic tests or new approaches that they may have access to.

That being said, there are subtle Ayurvedic approaches that could complement her medical treatment, enhancing her overall well-being. But these should not replace or delay critical care. It’s vital to go about this safely, avoid interventions which might conflict with her current medication. Keep communication open with your medical practitioner if you consider introducing any Ayurvedic remedies.

For stabilizing her energy gently, dietary adjustments can be done. Favor light, easily digestible foods – think khichdi with a touch of ghee to strengthen the agni without overburdening her system. Smaller, frequent meals help maintain steady energy levels.

Simple breathing exercises, like Anulom Vilom, but under supervision, can bring calmness; explore this softly when she’s relaxed and willing. Gentle restorative yoga poses, maybe under guidance, could promote relaxation without exertion.

Hydration is key, but just small sips of warm water – not cold – throughout the day.

Monitor her rest times to ensure quality sleep, maybe using calming routines or herbs like Brahmi, widely used to promote restful sleep, but again, discuss such introductions with her healthcare provider.

Stress management too is critical for you as parents – seek support systems that can help you cope during this intense period. Placing her and your family’s emotional balance as equally essential as physical health.

Through all these, though, continue to follow medical advice as the utmost priority, and never hesitate to reach out to urgent care if needed.
