A bit of long one but another victory for Braincore neurofeedback...
My 15 year old daughter has been struggling with lightheadedness, loss of vision, , heart palpitations, and passing out since October of last year. It got to the point she wasn't able to participate in PE, or do daily activities in school or at home without blacking out or becoming dizzy. She couldn't even walk through the store or even get up from a chair without dropping to the floor sometimes. She was constantly being taken to the ER whenever she passed out or had heart palpitations. She's had multiple EKGs and heart monitor harnesses to see if anything was wrong with her heart but nothing ever showed up. When I discussed all of this with her Pediatrician she told me that she needed to be on anti depressants because she was depressed and has anxiety. I knew she had anxiety but it wasn't severe, she was a normal kid. So even though I didn't want to put her on medication, because of the side effects, that's what we did. She started on her first pills on the lowest dose and nothing happened. We ended up bumping her up 3 more times, but I started noticing she had become angry and then one day she came to me and told me she felt so angry all the time. We asked to switch meds, with the new medication we upped it twice with no relief in site. One morning when she was getting ready for school my husband was getting everyone else in the car, she was alone in her room and fainted hitting her head and arm on something , not sure what and getting a bruise on her head and a big one on her arm. This was the last straw the pills were making it worse for her. So now where do I go? I really had no other option. I had already gone to a couple other doctors and they all just told me she needs to up her water and salt intake or she needs to be on medication. Well, I already new about brain core and Dr. Rudolph but I wasn't sure if he would be able to help with this problem. I just wasn't sure and at this point it was affecting her life. She wasn't able to drive or work since we never knew when it would happen. So we had our brain mapping visit and the results were as horrible as i thought they were almost completely red throughout her brain. Dr Rudolph explained it like a fainting goat. Any little stressor and she was passing out. So we did the treatments and she has been feeling so great. She just had her 4 week post mapping to make sure she is still going in the right direction and it's been so amazing. She has told me she finally feels better and that it's been a long time since she's felt ok. I can't thank Dr. Rudolph enough for everything. My daughter now has a job and is planning on getting her license this summer!
