A member asked:
My girlfriend is epileptic, lately she has been fainting more than usual..she went to hospital but they don't know what's wrong with her. any advise?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neurologist consult: and cardiovascular consult are vital for accurate diagnosis. She may need continuous monitoring video electro-encephalogram (EEG) in hospital and close followup with a neurologist for diagnosis. There is such a thing as non-epileptic psychogenic seizures (NES), or recurrent syncope which tends to have a vascular cause.
