Other causes possibl: Fainting can be caused by cardiac issues, blood pressure changes or just a very sensitive vagal nerve response. A neurologist should be able to help you get to the bottom of this.

I have had eeg, mri, etc. Eeg was slightly abnorma-put me on keppra (levetiracetam). What other tests can they put me thru-i think I have both syncope & seizures.
