I had the same issues as your daughter. I was diagnosed with syncope after having blood drawn (at age 14) and having a reflex anoxic seizure. I had my wisdom teeth taken out last summer and I had no problem with the anesthesia. I still worry about it everytime though. I just had my tonsils removed two weeks ago and I had extreme anxiety beforehand, but didn't have any trouble this time either. If she were to pass out under anesthesia, the doctors probably wouldn't even know it. Good news is, she's already lying down and the problem will most likely correct itself.

I spell out a lot more details on my website http://www.teethremoval.com/wisdomteeth.html There is always cause for concern with any surgery. If you want more reassurance I would seek out more opinions from medical doctors. However they can't predict the future.

First became aware at age 14 with vaccinations and blood draw. Blood draw resulted in paramedic help to stabilize her. Now she needs her wisdom teeth out, and as a parent, I'm very concerned. She had no fear or anxiety about the procedure, or needles...it simply happens. Gross movies or descriptions of medical procedures also leave her queasy. The oral surgeon assured me she'd be okay, but what happens if she passes out under anesthesia? Medically, she's healthy in all respects. She has low blood pressure due to her competitive swimming background. (trains 3-4 hours/day, so is incredibly physically fit) Should I be concerned? My 17 year old daughter suffers from syncope.

When it does happen, lying them back down in the dental chair can help clear their head and compensate for low blood pressure. With the legs elevated the blood supply to the head tends to improve.
