Interesting Article...

It concerns the sometimes misdiagnoses of epilepsy when in fact it is a form of heart disease. If you have fainting and normal EEG's, take a look.

Thanks Spiz, That is exactly why I had the heart monitor put in my chest. So they could catch the Heart arrythmias due to the possible cardiac syncope. Of course I haven't had any "fainting episodes" since it was put in and I was put back on my AED's.
