[QUOTE="gayle16again, post: 201774"] My difficult child 1 also has Absence Seizures. However, his are cardiac related. He has weak valves in the veins in his legs and blood pools, short circuits his brain and he spaces out for a few seconds. Vasovagal syncope is what it is called if you actually faint. He used to faint 10 times a day, scaring the beezus out of everyone. With medications (Midodrine) he "only" has the Absence Seizures, and he is growing out of them so he doesn't feel medications are necessary now. He sees a pediatrician Cardiologist at the University of Iowa Hospital. Tests were extensive, EEG, EKG, ECHO, Tilt table, lots of blood work too. Where your difficult child already has cardiac issues, you may want to investigate this further. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
