Liiwrcnce E. Lamb, M .D . , News Amer i ca Se rv i ce Young people prone to fainting DEAR DR. LAMB: My 17-year-old daughter had a physical, and when the doctor pricked her finger for a blood count she fainted. When she came to the doctor was taking her pulse and she fainted again. The doctor toook her pulse and listened to her heart and then gave her a small dose of adrenaline. Then the doctor sent her to the lab for a blood test and told her she wouldn't faint after the adrenaline, and she didn't. But her test showed a high blood sugar level. So the doctor had her blood test repeated and the se­ cond test was normal. Was she right in sending my daughter for a blood test after the adrenaline? Also, why did she give the adrenaline in the first place? She said her heart rate was so low for 15 minutes that it was "adrenaline or death." DEAR READER: Young people are more prone to such fainting episodes than mature adults. I did several surveys of pilots in the U.S. Air Force and found that fainting in healthy peo­ ple at some time in life was rather common, particularly at yotir daughter's age. In patients I have studied for fainting it is not unusual for them to faint again immediately after the first faint. The reflexes that cause the initial faint are still strong and it takes a while to com­ pletely recover from the first faint. Many faints are associated with a very slow heart rate, or the heart may actually stop for a few seconds. This is because the vagus nerve that normally slows the heart is overstimulated. I have seen the heart stop for as long as 12 seconds and then resume normal beating if the patient is left lying down. Atropine will usually correct It, and adrenaline could be used, although I do prefer atropine for such reflex responses. Yes, the adrenaline could cause a rise in blood sugar. Of course, if your daughter's blood test had been normal in spite of the adrenaline, it would not have been repeated. I'm sure you will want to read The Health Letter 9-2, "Fainting: Loss of Consciousness of Syncope," which I am sending you. It will explain faints for you. Others who want this issue can said 75 cents with a long, stamped, self-addressed envelope for it to me in care of this newspaper, P.O. Box 19622, Irvine, CA 92713. DEAR DR. LAMB: My husband is 5 CROSSWORD feet 5 and weighs 170 pounds. He quit smoking about two months ago. He started to lift weights and Jog at that time. When he tries to Jog a little far­ ther his body starts to tingle, his skin turns bright red and he breaks out in hives all over his body .He's been to the emergency room two times and we still don't know what causes it and why. I really want to know how dangerous these attacks are and why he gets them. DEAR READER: It sounds like your husband has an allergy to exercise. Yes, there is such a thing. Sometimes it occurs at the start of exercise and in other cases later. It is frightening, but there has never been a reported death ; from exercise allergy yet. This condition can be made worse by < also being allergic to something else. To illustrate, one reported cause was i n a t e n n i s p l a y e r w h o b r o k e o u t i n , hives every time she played tennis, after drinking an herbal tea. If she! played tennis without the tea she didn't have a problem, and if she drank the-J tea and didn't play tennis, she didn't; have hives. Have your husband check in with an, allergist for some help with this pro-' blem. BARBS M, WHAT5 WITH "THE- MEUJ LOOK ?

I wonder how many of the contestants will make three no-trump if they are confronted with today's deal. Remember, you can see all four hands, but the declar­ er has the privilege of seeing only his own cards and the dummy. With just seven tricks on top, declarer has no easy task. The sim­ plest solution is merely to hope for a singleton king of diamonds, but that just doesn't happen in the re$l world. The approach finally taken by declar­ er was sensible. He ducked the open­ ing heart lead. When the suit was continued, he won the king and imme­ diately ted ft Imm ' continued with a hearts. South was now ready to put his plan into effect. He stripped his hand of every high card, playing off the A-K of spades, the A-K of clubs, and the ace of diamonds. Then he played his low diamond. West, who held the diamond king, was bereft of black cards. He could win the king and cash the fourth heart, but now he had to give up the last two tricks to dummy's good diamonds. Notice that this approach works with other distributions of the defend­ ers' cards.
