Blood tests vasovagal episodes

My son was referred for blood tests after seeing the doctor due to a couple of fainting incidents. We went for the bloods last night and I’ve just had a call from the doctors surgery saying a doctor wants to talk about his results and will call me later to discuss. Am understandably worried now as this seems so quick after only having his bloods taken last night. I know nobody can tell me what the doctor will say later, of course, but just wondered if anyone knows what they may have been testing for when referred for possible vasovagal episodes? I’m imagining it could be low iron maybe, or perhaps a problem with his sugar levels. But am panicking in case they have picked up something awful. Anyone else had something like this?

Dd2 had that. Turned out she was severely low on vit d. So nothing major but something they wanted to sort out asap.

Ok thanks. Am imagining all sorts, knowing that the doctor wants to talk to me but having to wait all day for the call! Glad your Dd was nothing too serious.

Dd had this, multivitamins were prescribed, didn't make any difference as it turned out that they were psychological
