What Causes Fainting Spell And Vomiting In A Child?

yes, good evening . My daughter who is 13 was taken to the hospital today because collapsed in our kitchen. I called a ambulance to transport her . Along with collapsing, she also vomited. She was diagnosed with strep throat the night before and was put on a antibiotic. She was running a fever of a 101. When we got to the hospital they said that she was severely dehydrated and they gave her if fluids. However, they did a ECG on her and the doctor told me that the ECG was abnormal. This what the ECG copy said sinus tachycardia. Possible left atrial enlargement. Septal infarct. T wave abnormality, consider inferior ischemia. T wave abnormality, consider anterolateral. They released her said to follow up with a pediatric cardiologist. However, the appt is not until Aug 22nd. But I am a little panicked that this needs to be checked out right away. If we should take her to children s hospital tonight

Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...I understand your concern. I have gone through the details just now. This seems like an inferior wall infarct to me as she had collapsed and it could probably be due to low Blood pressure. I suggest that she needs evaluation immediately. She will need an echocardiogram to see the ejection fraction and also an ECG again (possibly treadmill too after evaluation). I suggest you see a pediatric cardiologist immediately.
