Femur Shattered Due To Gun Shot, Nerve Damaged. Suddenly Stops Breathing. What Syndrome Is This ?
my son suffered a gun shot wound to the thigh causing his femur to shatter. he suffered severe nerve damage also. he would pass out anywhere from 5-25 times a day, most of the time he would stop breathing. I've heard that this is some sort of syndrome but I'm not finding any answers online and the doctors just say its probably anxiety. he does suffer fom anxiety but says these 'spells' are clearly from the pain. any information you can give would be helpful!

Hi thanks for asking ! Want to ask are you sure he has no other underline disease. The other reason could be blood clot or nerve damage or simple fear effect due to accident. Just go for complete checkup again including blood and urine test if more then MRI. So just consult with neurologist. Take care. Bye.
