Hi Karen,
What is your blood pressure? More so, do you happen to know what your blood
pressure was at the times you've passed out? I have a mitro valve stenosis and
tend to have bouts of very low blood pressure at times. When this occurs I get
bouts of dizziness but don't passout but I do know that some do tend to pass
out. I agree Doc and Phil are on the mark here also.

Also, FYI, I have bi-lateral temporal lobe epilepsy, and it wasn't detected
for 21 years. To this day, I have "normal" CT scans, MRI's and PET scans of my
brain. It wasn't until I was 21 that the EEG showed up "abnormal".

Good Luck and let us know.

I would agree completely with Phil. The procedure
is much like the one they use (Holter Monitor) for
cardiac problems when the rhythm is only abnormal
at times. Hopefully they can find something quickly.
Falling is one problem but if it were to occur when
you are driving..ouch.
