My daughter experiences fainting episodes and also goes limp after hitting her head, it lasts for a few seconds then she starts breathing again, i thought she was just concussing herself but my doctor said last night that it was a vaso-vagal episode, my query is "what is it and why is it happening to my girl" i would appreciate any information from people who have had the same experience. my email is miramssarah@hotmail.com thank you
