Common Questions and Answers about Fainting and yellow skin in children

fainting

Avatar n tn I have copied this out for you, it happens quite frequently While there are uncommon serious causes of passing out in children, the majority of fainting episodes are brought about by reasons that are neither serious nor life-threatening. The most common reason for fainting in children is called vasovagal syncope [VAY-so-VAY-gull SEENK-oh-pee). Vasovagal syncope is an abnormal reaction of the nerves to otherwise normal circumstances. These nerves dictate the heart rate and blood pressure.
Avatar n tn t sound as lactose intolerance. Viral diarrhea (Rotavirus) is common in children younger than 5 years, and some immunity develops after that, so it would be unusual to have 4 consecutive bouts of diarrhea from the virus. What is the color and consistence of his stool? How many times a day? He is complaining (or you suspect) about school problems? Any abdominal pain, if yes, where exactly?
Avatar n tn //www.drugs.com/sfx/losartan-side-effects.html How long have you been taking it, and what is your dosage? If you're not new to the Losartan, then I would be willing to bet that any feelings of anxiety you're experiencing isn't related. If the anxiety was related to the medication, it would more likely present itself early on in treatment. Definitely let your doctor know how you're feeling.

Avatar f tn Carotenemia is a common finding in children, mainly due to the excessive intake of carrots, but it can also be associated with the ingestion of many other yellow and green vegetables and citrus fruits. Carotene is a lipochrome that normally adds yellow color to the skin. With elevated blood levels of carotene, the prominence of this yellowing is increased. Carotenemia may be particularly evident when the stratum corneum is thickened or when the subcutaneous fat is strongly represented.

These can cause panic attacks which cause hyperventilation episodes (which also fit what you describe.

Avatar n tn And I only found this out becuase I went to the ER and one reason I went the ER was because I was yellow. My eyes and skin were yellow. I was acute and cleared on my own. If you are acute they say those that go as far to show jaundice druing the acute phase have a better chance at clearing on their own.

Avatar n tn I am 40 week's 4 days and this morning I have noticed my neck chest and arms have a yellow colouring to them have any other mums had this habit worried now thanks
Avatar f tn libelluia, I'm not finding any places where yellow skin in pregnancy is nothing to be concerned about. Specifically, I'm finding sites where it says it IS something to be concerned about. Are you reading actual medical sites, or sites like ask.com where participants just sort of guess an answer?
Avatar m tn Pityriasis alba is not due to a vitamin deficiency and is a common skin condition mostly occurring in children and usually seen as dry, fine-scaled, pale patches on the face. No treatment is required and the patches in time will settle in due course of time. The redness, scale and itch if present may be managed with simple emollients and sometimes hydrocortisone, a weak steroid, is also used. Severe cases may require PUVA therapy.
Avatar f tn From the time I was 19 I have developed hives, swelling, and itching when I go into the sun. It doesn't happen every time I'm in the sun, but it's more likely to happen when the sun is shining very brightly. I've discovered that if I can get out of the sun when my skin starts to tingle and burn, the reaction is not as bad.
Avatar m tn I now know the warning signs. Usually, my vision gets yellow in color and I feel lightheadedness, then it is time to get my head down. I have avoided actually fainting for over 20 years. In older people when their heart stops, they immediately fall down (no warning signs). This has happened to people in our family and the fall started their heart again. She should have her iron checked to make sure that she is not anemic.
Avatar n tn Some of the throw-ups were just clear fluid, another was clear fluid with food, a few others had some yellow tinge, and there was another with a hairball. Obviously this amount of vomiting in a cat isn't normal, so I took him to the vet the following day (Tuesday). The vet thought maybe he had a blockage or got access to some lillies that were in the house.
Avatar n tn I should also mention that my forehead and right side of the head is yellow colour and all around my right eye is red and starting to be yelow. I do have headache, which at times stops but its usually constant. Why is the swelling spreading? Doctor told me to drink tea, relax and put cold on my face - i have been doing all three, but am getting real worried. Please help me!
