My son has now had 7 seizures since December. Had 2 in December 6 days apart none in Jan or Feb then 2 in March 6 days apart and 2 in April 6 days apart and now one yesterday. Yesterday's one an the one before resulted in bad head injuries he is passing out now if he is sitting down or just walking was the last one. A couple were where he got up quick. He goes dizzy each time and then passes out and has a seizure with every one lasting for 2-3 minutes he is having an EEG on the 10th of this month so we are apprehensive about and advice I can't get ould be greatly appreciated we have upped his fluid intake and his salt is there anything else we can do to help him. He starts his exams next week and the school have been fantastic

Thanks in advance

Nicola

Hi Nicola, I can't offer advice, but we've been through the same over the last 3 years. My daughter's now 20 and her health has improved a lot. She also has plenty of salt and drinks 3 litres of fluid per day (water and electrolyte drinks). She is also on midodrine prescribed by her cardio. At one time she was fainting 4 times a day, but now it's only occasionally - and that's brought on by stress/tiredness. I hope you get some answers with the eeg, my daughter's was clear. Good luck x
