Four months after my initial “event”, both the neurologist and the MRI results gave us the answer. It wasn’t a seizure, it wasn’t related to temporal lobe epilepsy, and it definitely wasn’t as serious as it could have been.

Technically, I did faint after all.

I’m prone to syncope, a loss of consciousness caused by a drop in blood pressure, likely due to my abnormally slow resting heart rate.

It explains my previous fainting episodes and it gives me something a bit more tangible to grasp when I start feeling the nausea and other sensations washing over me again.

What a relief.
