Hello and thanks for your question. I’d be pleased to assist you. Kindly answer following questions for further advice:
Age? Male or female?
Past medical history?
Any medicines using?
Thanks
So your husband had 2 episodes of blackouts recently?
Can you explain blackout in more details like did he passed out or just dizziness???
and did he have any jerky body movements when passed out?
or just fell and then woke up?
so he had 2 episodes?
Did he have any funny sensations in chest before passing out?
Fludrocortisone why???
I think he needs to have some investigations at this stage
Both for brain and heart like:
The Holter monitor is a type of portable electrocardiogram (ECG). It records the electrical activity of the heart continuously over 24 hours or longer while you are away from the doctor's office.
Yes Phenytoin could be related
You are welcome
Please do let me know if you have any further questions in future I would be happy to answer
Best of luck
Due to its side effects
Better have investigations first and drug would be last option
