This is what happened.
We were on a weekend break at a cottage. Friends DD, lets call her Jane, came walking down the staircase, we heard a crushing sound, then silence. We thought she kicked a toy over on the stairs, did not think it was her falling, as it just went silent. But she did not enter the room. We then heard a cry, and went to check. She had fallen on the stairs, we found her standing in downstairs the bathroom. She was a little red on her hip, where the step had caught. Her mum consoled her, and she was up and running again within minutes.
Next morning she is up, playing in their room before breakfast. Then she stops, her eyes rolls backwards and she fall onto a nearby wall, fainting. She wakes up a second or two later. She is shakey, feels nauseas, and hot.
Later she explains about the staircase. She was walking down, then suddenly she couldnt see anything at all, she lost movement in her legs and just fell over. She came to her senses in the bathroom. It was the same thing that happened to her in the bedroom. Suddenly she could not see, she could not move her legs, and she just lost her consciousnes.
She has been complaining about headaches since. They are waiting for two appointments at the hospital, one is to investigate epilepsy, one for something else.
Has anybody any experience of this? Any idea of what it could be? I would like to know a little more so I could be of support to my friend.
