What Causes Fainting And Body Tremors After Head Injury?
my 15 year old daughter ran up the stairs, hit her foot, collapsed, looked at me for a second, then hit her head on the steps and jerked for a few seconds like a seizure. She then looked at me with a blank unknowing stare, and said she fainted. I didn't move her right away. My husband thought it was a vasovagal reaction from hitting her knee. It looked like a seizure, but he doesn't think it was. My daughter was hungry, and hadn't eaten in 2 hours. I took her upstairs, gave her a healthy meal, and she appears fine. What do you think?

the episode u decribed seems to be a seizure. better do a EEG and consult a neurologist. especially if she has some history of febrile seizure or family history of seizures is there.
