Cardiac Disorder in Children & Fainting: Tips to Remember
At least one-half million children in the United States have some form of cardiac problem (excluding high blood pressure). Certain heart conditions may cause an individual to faint. The heart may not be able to pump enough blood to the brain if an individual has:
• A heart rate that is too slow
• A heart rate that is too fast
• Heart valve problems
Symptoms:
Symptoms that may occur before fainting include:
• Heart palpitations (feeling and hearing your heart pound)
• Feeling lightheaded
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Weakness
Anyone who faints for the first time should see a doctor to find out why.
To help prevent fainting caused by cardiac conditions:
• Avoid sudden changes in position
• Avoid strenuous physical activities
• If you continue to have fainting episodes, tell your doctor
First Aid for Fainting:
• If you feel faint, lie down if possible and put your feet up. If you can’t lie down, sit down and lean forward with your head between your knees.
• If someone has already fainted but has a good pulse and is breathing normally, raise the person’s legs above the level of his or her chest. This returns more blood to the brain and will probably return the person to consciousness.
• If a person has already fainted and has no pulse or isn’t breathing, call 911. If you know how, begin CPR.
