Findinghope Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Not that I watch the show but I am guessing this could be Dysautonomia. Maybe reality TV will bring some publicity to our fight. http://tv.yahoo.com/blogs/tv-news/-honey-boo-boo--dad-sugar-bear-undergoing-medical-tests-for-mystery-ailment-193404959.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alex Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Fainting is more common than we think in the general population and could be caused by so many things. Regardless, I feel sorry for him. Sounds like he has a bunch of issues going on. I hope that the drs will be able to figure out whatever is wrong with him.Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imapumpkin Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 just saw this too! if it does turn out to be dysautonomia, i hope some good will come out of it and bring awareness to the condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxie Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I did see the episode a week or two ago when he was in the hospital with pancreatitis & it showed his hr being 140. It's hard to know if he has some for of dysautonomia but he is diabetic. I think uncontrolled insulin can cause fainting too. But I'm sure diabetes could also lead to dysautonomia. Hopefully, may jax will figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
