My daughter who is now 7 recently had a "spell". She has not had one in about 2 years now. Her first episode, she was 9 months old, she had become upset, passed out and had a seizure. It became so frequent and usually happened if she were hurt, upset or scared. She has had many tests done and was put on steriods for a very short time. Docotors conclusion was "pallid infantile syncope" or "breath holding spells". Doc said she would grow out of it by the time she was 4. She has not. She has had some spells where she would just be sitting around and it happen. She snaps right out sometimes but usually she is very lethargic for hours later. Its very scary and nerve racking that we can't get a real answer to help her. It was nice to find this forum, knowing we are not the only people dealing with this.
