HELP!!! 1yo passing out...

[Krisvee]

Hi!

I'm going to be taking him to the dr tomorrow or Friday but anyone that can help for now would be great!

When my 1yo Dylan has a tantrum he ends up winding himself up so much that he literally passes out...it's only for a second and he's all dopey and then after a minute he's back to normal again...
It's so scary and although he'd only done it 2 times in the last 6 months in the last week it's happened twice so now I'm really worried that there's something wrong...It's only ever when he's having a tantrum though and he has some great one's for his age that's for sure.
I worry especially as when it happened the other day he was walking as he was crying so he ended up falling flat on his face so I'm worried as well that he may end up hurting himself...

Any advice/stories would be great! Thanks!! I'll post in childrens medical conditions as well...

It could be that he is depriving himself of oxygen temporarily while he is having the tantrum and having a mini fainting spell. It's like chn who hold their breathe until they pass out. Let us know what the dr thinks.

did you get to the docs. yet Kristie?
I know DS used to hold his breath when he was angry/frustrated, but not to the point of passing out, I cant imagine how scary that must be!
I hope that they can give you some advice.

Chelsea has begun holding her breathe now in tantrums too...but not as far as Dylan....i hope the dr can be of some help. All the best.

Hi!

Been to the dr's...didn't seem all that concerned but have referred Dylan to a paed just to be safe...

So no real news yet...It's a good sign he wasn't too worried though I'm thinking!!

Shall keep you informed! Thanks!
