Do Enlarged Adenoids Cause Fainting?

My 5 yr old son was just found to have enlarged adenoids. He also has a history of fainting. We thought they were seizures- but EEG came back normal. It seems to happen at least once a year and i am just wondering if there is any correlation between the enlarged adenoids and the fainting.

there is no correlation between adenoids and fainting. adenoids enlarged till 6-7 years of age.might be some syncopal attacks due to skipping meals or breakfast.
