8 year old -blacks out for 1-3 seconds

From: Confused Mom

Comments

My 8 year old daughter blacks out for no reason for about 1-3 seconds. Says "a black shade goes by her eyes". After multiple tests, doctors concluded vaso-vagal. Has anyone had this type of reaction. She doesn't lose consciousness or anything. Hardly stops what she is doing.

It is for you and your physician to rule out more serious illnesses; Please don't use this online forum as an alternative to getting responsible medical attention and being under the care of a physician for the duration of any unknown, suspected or dangerous vaso-vagal syndrome symptoms.
