Karissa has been getting dizzy spells recently, I called her doc and she said next time she has one to get a pulse read. She had another "episode" a little while ago and while I couldnt get a decent read I put my hand on her chest and it felt like she had just run a mile. I called the Doc and she immediately scheduled her for an EKG for tomorrow morning.

They think she is having seizures which is a new development. They arent sure if its her heart or something else. If they dont find a problem there we are back to neurologist for an EEG.
 

oh my!! Prayers heading your way. I am hoping that the EKG holds the answer for Karissa. :hug:
 
I will say a prayer for Karissa (and you too) right now. :hug:
 
Oh Robin, I am so sorry to hear this about your precious princess:Karissa. She will be in my prayers.
 
Prayers for you and for your daughter, who has a beautiful name by the way:goodvibes

Could you describe her dizzy spells in more detail? The reason I ask is because my DH suffers from lone atrial afibrulation. When it occurs his heart races and bounces around and causes his blood pressure to bottom out and get dizzy, etc. I just thought I would throw this out there as a possibility. An EKG will not pick it up either, unless his heart is actually in afib while he is hooked up. Good luck and prayers for your daughter.
 
Prayers being said for your precious daughter, Binny. It's good that the doctors will get to the bottom of what is going on. I wish you strength through this trial.

Thank you for mentioning that my mum has that as well.

She has a lot of other issues so its rather tough to get to the bottom of it as she doesnt articulate very well.

When she gets hit with this she just says "momma Im dizzy" then I have her lay down for awhile and it passes. She usually has a headache for a little while afterwards.

I will make sure to mention it tomorrow too.

I have spent a lot of time in cardiologists offices with my dad and mum. My dad died while waiting for a heart transplant. I havent had to do this with my own child though.
 
and sorry, thanks to everyone for the prayers. We really appreciate them!
 
Prayers being said for both of you. It's so hard to be a Mom. :grouphug:

How old is Karissa?
