Fainting Spells For Several Years Now Off And On, Please Help

my wife has had fainting spells for several years now off and on and she has been diagnosed with sceizers and then the Doctor said that this was incorrect so they took off of that medication but every now and then her syncope will return. She has had a tilt table test and a 24 hour monitor put on her heart and nothing was found. what are our options now?

Hi,

Why dont you consider meeting a neurologist and get a EEG done when she is having the fainting spel or immediately after the fainting spell? It will tell you whats going on..also there might me something else wrong. Discuss about possibility of "TIA's" in your wife with your doctor who stopped the medicine.
