Suggest Treatment For Syncope And Confusion
My 19 year old daughter has been suffering from confusion and syncope spells since Feb. 2015. She has had EEG s and King of Hearts monitors and a CAT scan all with negative results. Her GP does not know what else to do to try to find a diagnosis. Any suggestions on what we should do next?

Hello,
Her symptoms could be related to a psychological disorder, considering all the performed cardiac and brain tests. So, as epilepsy or a cardiac arrhythmia have been excluded, I would recommend consulting with a psychotherapist or psychiatrist in order to investigate for possible psychological non-epileptic seizures.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
