Q: Passing out regularly

Im 18 and for the past year i've been passing out quite regularly. I pass out maybe once a week, sometimes less it depends how i am feeling. Ive been to the doctors about it but they dont listen. When i faint i know im going to as it's happened so often, and i pass out for a minute, sometimes come to and from, and sweat alot, get really hot. The club lights seem to make me feel awful (i dont drink) and then when it's really hot and sunny, the suns a big one, looking out the window makes me dizzy and if it's bright i feel weird. I thought maybe epilipsy but my doctor says if i don't take a fit then i dont have it and fainting about 4 times a month is normal. i need help PLEASE? im scared going out soemtimes and to drive incase it happenes.

Passing Out Regularly
See a neurologist - testing for epilepsy is painless. See a cardiologist & request a tilt table test. There is a condition called Neuro-Cardio Syncope that is completely treatable with medication.
