Very worried - a faint without explanation

[Barmaid]

Not seeking a diagnosis here, but some reassurance. Situation is as follows. Sis (aged 39, in rude good health, not overweight, doesn't drink to excess, doesn't smoke) went for a eye test 2 weeks ago. As Optician was explaining results her hearing went completely. then her eyesight went. Next thing was she got very hot, sweat dripping off her. the paramedics woke her up and she was blue'd and two'd to hospital. In hospital she had saline drip, blood tests and ecg. All came back as normal.

Discharged from hosptial. Since then, she has been confused, unable to concentrate, felt spaced out, has memory issues, very tired etc. Went to GPs, they couldn't see her. Mum arranged for her to see mum's GP and she said "not normal to be unconscious for that length of time". She has been told she cannot drive pending an appointment with a neurologist which under the NHS can take up to 8 months. Thankfully, bank of mum and dad are paying privately for her to see a neurologist next week.

Sqad - any ideas?! V v worried about my baby sis.

I just presumed a spammer or similar had answered MissC and that was what was removed, I may well be wrong.

Thanks for updating. I was wondering how she was, it sounds reassuring BM. You must feel really relieved! Sounds like you've had a lot of sadness/stress lately.

My husband has Neurological problems and he (well his parents) had to pay privately as the waiting lists are diabolical. It's definitely worth it for peace of mind.

All the best :) x

MissCommando, yes, that was spam - I saw the name of the "last poster" and it was the usual 2am gobbledygook.
