Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Syncope and seizure may be the result of reduced blood supply to the brain - from the fast heart rate / or two different entities.
She needs extensive investigations to elucidate the cause / no treatable cause should be missed at his age..
EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring) / ECHOcardiogram / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG) / LABORATORY work-up – will all be necessary for the arrhythmia / congenital heart disease.
A cardiologist must investigate
EEG / MRI & MRA - may be necessary for the seizures.
A Neurologist must see
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
