Hi, Some people faint or feel faint from being dyhydrated(not drinking enough water etc), not getting enough sleep. The fainting getting her blood drawn might also be a clue.Getting Her BP & HR as soon as she feels like she is going to faint is also key. Usually getting the BP & Hr after a faint is useless. Its whats happening during the faint that is most helpful. Most people after they faint, BP and Hr will be normal. Try looking up the word,"syncope", on the internet. An excellant search engine is: Google.com

SHe might have what they call a Simple Faint. Also, having her see a pediatric cardiologist might be worth a trip. She might have a dysautonomic condition or she might not. Getting the right doctor who knows what he is doing is imperative. Yes, this is all very frustrating for you as well as your husband.If you want more information, let me know.

Take care Mary
