This has been going on for four weeks now and getting worse.

Tiredness, shaking (full body) double/blurred vision, headaches, feeling like you are going to blackout.

He says it makes him feel so strange when it happens, he hates it. he has had 4 of these episodes this afternoon and its now exhausted and just wants to sleep.

Took him to Drs who ran an ECG, tested urine and blood sugars all normal results.

Does anyone have any suggestions please?

I agree keep going back to the doctor, but I also think you should take him to the opticians - they can check his eyesight, but I think they can also spot other conditions from the eyetests too. Hope you get to the bottom of it soon, poor wee man.

did you mean EEG? rather than ecg?

Has anyone suggested a brain scan?
I'd be tempted to take him to a&e next time it happens - then you're on-site at a hospital and you might see someone who can test/diagnose.

Might be flamed as a bad idea but if my son was blacking out it's probably what I'd do - especially if it happens four times in one afternoon.

I think you're right ShotgunNotDoingThePans.

I would get full investigation done including brain scans
Several things could be accounting for this from
Low blood sugar to TIA's to migraines, worth checking out thouroughly.

Waiting for MRI scan appointment now.

Thanks again to everyone and yes I will continue to update as I hate it when people don't update.
