boyfriend weird health problem


Question Posted Thursday August 13 2009, 3:12 am

he's 16

and i didn't find this out until today, he said it always happened to him since he was little. he said that when he sleeps, once and a while he blacks out kinda like a comma and has low blood pressure, then his heart starts slowing down. he said he went to the doctor to get it checked up, they say that only happens when he had too much alcohol.. and they said it wasn't alcohol, so they didn't know what it was. i was thinking it was over stress, because his whole family is depending on him and he had money problems.. but i'm not that sure. can anyone help me on this?! i'm really worried, and i just want to take care of him.

Alcohol, can put you in a very deep sleep, to where you're unresponsive to surroundings. Something neurologically is going on, and maybe he needs to see a Neurologist about this.

The whole blood pressure, and cardiac activity could mean something around sleep apnea. Does he have breathing problems at all? Is he overweight?

Get your doctor to refer him to a specialist, so they can get brain scans on him to check on activity, and possibly sleeping tests run on him. This could help a lot.
