[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 572396, member: 1233"] Fainting is a reason to be checked by a doctor. Fainting and being out for such a long time? URGENT need to be checked out by a dr. Being so tired you sat down and then crashed and the next thing you know it is 5 hours later? Common and could be caused by many things. I would get her checked out. I know this is the LAST thing a parent wants to think about, but could she be using drugs, taking OTC medications in large amts or with other things, or drinking? Any chance she is sneaking out? in my opinion if a doctor does not run a drug screen with a teen with these symptoms is going to HAVE to run a test for drugs and ask about alcohol use. It is somethng to think about, and maybe to discuss with easy child, esp if she is still on the medications in your signature. Be prepared for the doctor to ask these questions and possibly to do a drug test. some docs hide them and do them with other tests. easy child could have some kind of infection, esp if she isn't feeling good, and that could trigger a need for lab work so the doctor might not ask until after he gets some results. I just mention it as soemthign to be aware the doctor will likely ask. I hoep it was just being overtired and falling asleep rather than actually passing out and being out for so long. I hope there is nothing serious of any kind going on. [/QUOTE]
