Hi Karen,
My idea would be to make continuous ECG recordings for 24 hours,using a
portable monitor. This would be checking for intermittent Arrhythmia.

I have been diagnosed with partial transverse myelitis and have been very
lucky as I have made it out with only some leg pain and weakness. I also have
a B12 deficiency. The last MRI I had of the brain showed a lesion in the
white matter but have no symptoms of MS. The thing that has been plaguing me
for the last year is a sudden passing out. It lasts only a few seconds to a
minute, but I have very little warning. It is a royal pain in the butt
(actually in the head as I usually clonk it hard). For the week after I feel
very lightheaded and have periods of numbness to my face lasting a few seconds
to a few minutes. I have had every cardiac test in the book, I am not anemic,
and do not have evidence of seizures on 2 EEGs, but no one can tell me what is
causing the blackouts nor what to do about it. I am getting extremely
frustrated. Anybody out there have any ideas? Karen
