I would take him back to his pediatrician and discuss whether he thinks a cardio consult is warranted, just to rule out any problems. Has he seen the videos or a log of how many events? This just seems way outside normal limits. Have they done routine blood work recently? I'm glad the neuro is doing the extended EEG to rule out atypical seizures. The pulse ox hopefully rules out any O2 desaturation..,.which is a good thing.

I guess what I'm trying to figure out is what you mean by "evaluated by another doctor"...another pediatrician? Another neurologist? Or a new sub-specialty altogether?

Thanks!
