Afternoon. I have just had my 3rd pass over the course of 1.5 years, going back in time, the first episode was on a early morning flight, I may have logged 5 hours max. sleep prior to the 5 hour flight. The 2nd episode came upon me on a late Sunday afternoon prior to my weekly hockey. The third and most significate was this past Friday around 930 am. to which I lost complete consciousness, fell and crack the back of my head requiring several stiches. In all cases, it is initiated with a loss of hearing, sweat like systems and a loss of balance. I am and work in a family owned and operated business to which we have 137 staff, I don t know if its stress related, hearing related, food allergies... please advise your thought by return emal

Hello,

Further evaluation is necessary to find the cause of your symptoms. Conditions to consider include sudden changes in blood pressure, cardiac arrythmia, seizures, etc. Getting evaluated by your primary care Doctor, wearing a Holter monitor for 24-48 hours, and an EEG are necessary to get a correct understanding. If these conditions will be excluded after such examinations, then we can say it is stress related.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
