Hi b:

As an ER RN, I saw a few kids who passed out when/just after eating something ice-cold. Just an over-exagerated reaction of the vagal nerve.

However, in addition to EKG I think an echo-cardiogram is in order to rule out any anatomical abnormalities. (i.e mitral valve prolapse)

Not to alarm you -- just to be safe.

In re-reading the January event, it crossed my mind that maybe a sleep deprived EEG is a good idea too.

Did Jacob pee himself either time? Was he especially groggy afterwards?

In the clover, he never peed himself, but was very groggy both times afterwards; he just wanted to go to sleep.

EJ, thanks! Feels good to be back, and feels even better to be losing weight!

Mention this grogginess to his doctor and ask specifically that he be checked for a seizure disorder.

There are many types of seizures and not all are the typical "convulsions" -- some can just be simple staring episodes or repetitious actions. Many are well controlled by meds.

Best wishes.
