Does Down Syndrome Has Anything To Do With Several Fainting Spells?
my brother in law has down syndrome and he has had several fainting spells. All test have come back ok. I was wondering if this is something that people with downs usually do. He will be 50 years old in 2 weeks and he has had 3 fainting episodes in the past 9 weeks
