Could Fainting Of A Toddler Be Due To Aortic Stenosis Or Seizures?

My 2 year old son has had aortic stenosis since birth (bicuspid aortic valve) and pulmonary hypertension. He s already had a balloon valvoplasty (May 2014) when it was severe to critical. Since they said he was doing great with only mild regurgitation. Today he had two episodes of what I can only call convulsions, one followed by vomiting. And a third where he was unconscious. Could this be related to his AS or is it seizures?

hi..
the probable cause of seizure in your children are
1. seizure unprovoked
2. metabolic- hypocalcimic
restenosis of aortic valve leading to convulsion is unlikely. kindly consult the pediatrician and get evaluated for seizure.
