    Fainting

    Hi - my 5 year old daughter faints when she is injured/perceives she is going to be injured, and when she has injections, etc. Does anyone know if this is common? I mentionned it to the doctor who thought it was funny (we no longer see that doc!). Her teachers/family think its funny/cute but I'm worried that its going to develop into something more serious, or that she might injure herself when she faints. Any advice?
    Thanks very much

    if it was my daughter,i would demand to be referred to a paediatric consultant.

    Hi Kathy,
    I suggest you see a ped. Doctor but......I have heard of children passing out for
    various reasons. Kids hold there breath and pass out when having temper tantrims.
    I would suggest a few tests to ease your mind or at least a few doctors opinions and
    then if they both feel it is not serious you may feel better.
