Question
A 14-year-old girl experienced two unexplained fainting spells, with the first lasting about ten to fifteen minutes and the second lasting over an hour. After waking up, she had no memory of the events. Experts, what could be the cause of this? What examinations are needed? Is there a possibility of a serious health issue?
Answer
The girl’s fainting spells may be caused by insufficient brain blood supply due to epilepsy, nervous tension, or regional vasospasm. It is recommended to first undergo an EEG examination to observe for any abnormal brain waves. If necessary, a carotid angiography can be performed to rule out vascular abnormalities. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health.
