My daughter collapsed from vasovagal syncope.

Monday 1:30. I was reading a book at home when I got a call from my daughter. She should have been at class, but she called me crying. She said she had a dream where she passed out and hit her head while washing up, and when she woke up, she was lying on the bed naked. There was a trace of vomit on the floor, and the toilet lid was all broken, so she thought it was a dream, but she passed out in the bathroom. She said she couldn't remember anything that happened. My daughter goes to school in Cheonan, and I live in Changwon. It would take more than 3 hours no matter how fast I go... I left right away. My husband called 119. My daughter was in the emergency room, and although the CT and MRI results were normal, my heart and blood test results suggested an arrhythmia, so she said she should be admitted and examined in detail. She's 21 now... My heart pounded again. When I was admitted and looked closely, she said there was a wound on her head where she had hit it, and it was sore as if she had a bruise. The wounded area hurts, so my head keeps hurting and my stomach keeps churning. The next day after I was admitted, I got an echocardiogram and several blood tests since dawn, and my heart was found to be normal, so I was discharged. I was happy to hear that there was nothing wrong and that I should be discharged, but the other symptoms didn't seem serious. When I got home, my head hurt and my stomach kept churning, which seemed to be symptoms of a concussion, but I regret not asking and just leaving. As the guardian, I should have taken better care of her, but I think I took her symptoms too lightly because she was only pierced by her heart. I'm making sure she eats well and gets enough rest, but her stamina is really low. I'm also worried that she might collapse if she's alone. Since fainting is when you collapse without realizing it, it's worse to get hurt by bumping into something. I'm even more worried because I've fainted with the same disease. My husband was next to me, so I didn't get hurt, but when I fainted and got hit like my daughter, I got short-term memory loss, a headache, and nausea. I think this is a bigger problem.

    어머 정말 많이 놀라셨겠어요.
    신경심장성 실신이라니 처음 들어요.
    공부하느라 힘들었을까요 따님이요.
    그래도 검사상 괜찮다니 다행이에요.
    변기 뚜껑이 깨질 정도면 머리에 타박상이나 두피에 부종이 (혹) 생겼을 수도 있는데 1차 책임은 병원에 있다고 생각해요. 자책하지 마세요. 실신이라면 충분히 다른 휴우증 가능성도 고려해서 추가 검사를 해야 하는게 병원에서 할 일이라고 생각해요.그리고 심장은 생명과 직결되니 당연히 가장 신경이 쓰이는건 당연하구요. 이상이 없다니 천만다행이에요.
    두통과 오심 증상이 지속되면 병원 재 방문도 고려해 보셔요. 떨어져 계시니 걱정되시는 맘 공감합니다. 
    요즘 아이들은 자기 관리도 잘 하니 따님도 더욱 신경쓰고 잘 할거에요. 맘고생 하셨어요.
    편안한 밤 되시길요.
