Can Selenium Deficiency Cause Loss Of Consciousness?
I have experienced a loss of consciousness on a few occasions and have had many many different specialists try to diagnose what may be causing it with no luck. I ve seen neurologists and cardiologists who have done extensive testing with no answers. Recently I ve seen a natural path who said I may have a selenium deficiency. I only loose consciousness about once every few years. Recently this happened while I was driving and ended up in a ditch. I have no warning signs of when this is about to happen. It s as sudden as the snap of your fingers and when I come to I feel exhausted. I really hope you can help.
