My daughter will faint when exposed to sunlight.

My daughter faints every time she stresses herself too much in studying and even in too much exposure to sunlight. It will take her hours before she wakes up. I was thinking she has a bad heart condition or something so I have her checked by a physician one time. However, the doctor told us that there is nothing wrong with her. I have a foreign feeling that this is not good anymore. Is that still normal? Or should I worry about her health?

You cannot get medical advice at 7 Cups. We are only here to provide emotional support.

I am not a doctor, but it seems to me that fainting usually means only very brief loss of consciousness. If it takes hours before your daughter wakes up, that sounds more like the condition known as narcolepsy. Perhaps it might help you to discuss that possibility with your doctor. If your doctor is not willing to discuss it, then it might be good to find another doctor.
