Hello,

Due to your being a minor it's not possible for me to offer you any specific recommendations for either diagnosing or treating your condition without parental/guardian permission.

However, passing out spontaneously for the past year absolutely deserves testing and indepth medical analysis.

I would recommend speaking with your parents and asking them to take you to a doctor for a good examination initial testing to understand why this is happening.

Probably not nearly as overwhelming and then, at least someone will have had a chance to speak with you and listen to your heart, lungs, etc. in order to recommend next steps.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Dariush Saghafi, Neurologist
