help - does this sound like a seizure?

[Runningwithscissors]

DD, who's 2, had an episode yesterday at nursery. Her eyes rolled and she fainted, and then she was awake but not very responsive for about 10 mins. She peked up fie after that. She has a bit of a cold at the moment, and was apparently qite thirsty yesterday too.

DP took her straight to the docs, who said that kids faint all the time, but the nursery haven't seen this before....

Am very worried...any helpful thoughts welcome

Did she have a temperature? Febrile convulsion?

Thanks Carmen, but no she didn't have a temperature...

did he test her blood sugar?

no he didn't, trace2; am taking her to the docs again on Friday, so will ask about this- thanks

sounds harmless my ds did similar thing at 4. Very still unresponsive then projectile vomited. Gp said poss seizure but as never happened since theres no concern. My cousin also had the same at 15 and never since.
Would only test seizure activity if repeated episodes.

Hope all well at GP on friday.

thanks jai80, that's reassurring

how as he gone on today?

hi my dd faints it runs in my family i only grew out of it when i was about 35yrs.i never had a temp just was told not to stand on the same spot for too long.my dd fainted recently shes 10 she was standing at choir she fainted they said her eyes rolled they got her a drink and biscuit.so i wouldnt worry too much the places i have fainted!!!!!

she's not breath-holding is she? it's quite common, but nursery should have seen it before - most have experience of a breath-holder or two!

could have been a sz, but maybe not. keep a record and mention it to the gp if you have other concerns.

yes your right breathe holders forgot about those!!! Very common especially in new environments or when concentrating the child simply forgets to breathe for a few seconds!!!
