AB This  is  a  dramatic  emergency.  There  are  two  types:  one  related  to  a  tantrum  (description  follows)  and  the  other  a  simple  faint.  They  can  manifest  as  ‘blue  attacks’  (breath  holding  with  closed  glottic)  or  ‘white  attacks’  known  as  reflex  anoxic  seizures,  usu.  with  pain.
