Northern Ireland teenager vows to raise awareness for her condition which leads to daily blackouts

Erin Wall, from Richhill in Co Armagh, was in Primary 7 when she first began to experience pains in her ears and trouble with her balance which would cause her to fall over. These symptoms developed and the young woman started to faint and have black outs.
