What Causes Sudden Fainting Along With Severe Fatigue?

My son is 22 years old and I got a phone call from his girlfriend that he passed out after taking a drink of ice tea. He fell out of his chair his and his eyes closed. Fortunately her Dad caught my son and he did not fall and hurt himself.k After about a minute he came to and he said that as he took a drink it really hurt in his lower esophagus and then he passed out. They called an ambulance and everything checked out okay, but they said he definitely should go see a doctor ASAP. He was feeling fine before that happened but his girlfriend says he has been okay but he is feeling weak and tired. He has mainly been sleeping since then this evening.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

After reading your post, it seems that the symptoms you mentioned can be due to vasovagal syncope. I would suggest that you should get him clinically evaluated to rule out other possibilities. Some investigations may be needed along with monitoring of blood pressure and heart rate.
