I started having dizzy and passing out spells almost 2 year now. I've been seen so many doctors. A neurologist, a cardiologist and rheumatologist. My Neurologist finally decided to do some blood work. My ANA was positive along with my CRP being a 12.9 When normal range should be 0 to 4.9. She sent me to Rheumatology and he said your 32 and shouldn't worry about any of this stuff right now. You're to young and there's to many autoimmune disorders out there that it would be a waste of time to try and narrow it down. It definitely stresses me out as I am a single mom and with my passing out and feeling absolute miserable on some days its hard and I get so worried something will happen when my son and I are home alone and he won't know what to do even through I've had to teach him to call 911 if something happens. I finally got my referral to Mayo but insurance is making it so hard to get seen there so I'm in the middle of fighting insurance and doing whatever steps they want me to take to get them to approve my visit at Mayo. I am ready for someone to actually listen to me and take my health serious and not just push it off because of my age.

@eberry24 you don't need a label as yet: that is often delayed in young people since rheumatolgists often feel things become clearer in time and you don't want to avoid wild goose changes.

However, fainting needs to be addressed. CRP can relate to inflammation and also heart. What did the cardiologist say? This could be syncope. Is your blood sugar okay- that is another cause of passing out. I hope you can get someone to listen. Sounds like cardiology should do a patch monitor and maybe stress test, echo, etc.

Did the neurologist suggest migraines or what did they say?
