Hello, I have had 3 episodes since January of passing out. Before passing out, I have a loud roaring in my head that seems to come from my body into my head and drowns out all other noises. on average I pass out for 20 - 30 minutes and become aware of my surroundings very slowly. On my 3 hospital stays I have had an MRI, 2 catscans, 2 eeg's, 2EMG's, and 2 tilt-table tests. The only thing I failed was both tilt table tests. My doctor put me on Toprol-XL and Midodrine after the first episode and I am wearing TED stockings, but I have had 2 episodes since then. I'm not sure the doctor's know what thery're doing. Now they have me taking Keppra, but they are not diagnosing me with a seizure disorder. I also am currently not driving. Nowhere in my research can I find any clues to the roaring noise in my head and I think this is the key to it all. Does anyone have any ideas? Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Glen

That is almost exactly what I was having. I would get where words didn't make sense, then a few minutes later, I would get this noise, sort of a roaring in my left ear and then I would be out. I dont' know for how long, it only happened three times before I started meds. That controlled it, when I tried to change my meds though it happened again. Anyway, I dont' know if the noise causes it or what, I think it is just the "aura'

Thanks for the reply. With me, the noise would come first, then confusion, then the blackout. I don't know if this is classified as a seizure or not. I do know the medicines I'm taking are not working and they are making me feel doped up.

this sort of thing happens to me sometimes too. like today my friend and i were playing around and he twisted my hand and it didnt really hurt, but a few seconds later i started blacking out and about 10 minutes later i woke up kindof with a ringing in my head, and my friend asking me what i was doing because i was like sprawled out on the chair with my eyes open but i was asleep/blacked out? it was not the first time it happened, but it sure scared me
