A teenager who was diagnosed with a condition and told her distressing symptoms would 'fizzle out' is now in a bid to raise awareness.
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.
The 15-year-old went through medical investigations, to which nothing was found at that time. As she transitioned into high school, Erin's black outs happened more often, and could have lasted hours.
