I had episodes of fainting after being diagnosed
with Lyme disease. Could this be related?
Oh, sure. The first thing that comes to my mind
is that Lyme disease may have affected your heart. Lyme disease can damage the nerves
that control your heart and this can result in slowing of the heart rate, which
can present with fainting episodes. You do not provide much of a history, but
the least the doctors should have done is an ECG. I would make sure this is
done. If your heart rate is low, then often the treatment is a temporary
pacemaker. This means you need admission to a hospital. There are many other
causes of fainting, but since you had lyme I would rule out the heart problem
first. Good luck.
