Q: 15 Yr Old Has Fainting Episodes With Sudden Standing

My granddaughter has a problem with fainting when she stands up at times. This does not happen all the time, but enough to be a worry. Family doctor suggest tests for mitral valve prolapse. These episodes are
followed by headache, but is over soon. Anyone have this problem?
