What could cause stomach pain and the unconsciousness?
Patient: My 8 year old son was exercising with his dad (which his does nightly) he complained that his stomach hurt...grabbed it...and my husband said he looked like he could cry and then passed out. What should we do? We have given him water and he is eating (he has not ate like he usually does today and slept a lot today) but he says the pain is gone. Doctor: Causes of syncope in a child may include dehydration, hypotension, neurogenic diseases, cardiac diseases etc.As your child was exercising, complained of abdominal pain and felt unconscious, as per guidelines episode of syncope after exercise needs to be investigated to rule out cardiac causes. Hence consult your doctor and ask for appropriate investigations.
