Could The Unawareness Of The Environment For Few Minutes Be Related To Connective Tissue Disorder?

Hi, I am a 16 year old female with a diagnosis of ehlers-danlos syndrome type 3 and fibromyalgia. I have recently had two incidents where I lost consciousness and didn t remember what happened but I was still awake and functional but completely unaware. Could this be related to my connective tissue disorder?

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

There is no direct relation to loss of consciousness and Ehlers danlos Syndrome ( EDS ).

What you had could be either a fits ( convulsion ) or a fainting attack ( Syncope). You need to consult a Physician who will do the evaluation to know whether its fits or Syncope as treatment is entirely different for both.

EDS can cause heart problems which in turn cause Syncope but otherwise no direct relation between loss of consciousness and Ehlers danlos Syndrome ( EDS ).


Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
