Hello, this is not me but a friend of mine
I want to help because i'm getting a lot
of worried about her.
She's 22, she weights around 50 kilograms
(around 110 pounds ??).
She already went to the doctor and made
exams, more then once actually, they
accused nothing out of the ordinary.
What happens is that once in a while
during morning she starts to get really
pale (she has brown skin so i notice right
away), she starts shivering, getting cold
sweats, starts getting dizziness etc etc,
and the only way to solve it is by eating
something. She has a historical of faints,
although the last one was 2 years ago.
Apparently this could mean that she didn't
have breakfast, but she did, i live with
her and she eats every morning before
going to work. Her doctor told her she was
probably not eating, and if I didn't live
with her i probably thought that too. On a
normal person this doesn't happen.
She can get up from bed right away after
waking up, like waking up and getting up
really fast, she have to wait a little
while or she starts getting dizzy.
Sometimes I get really scared, like
yesterday even with eating it lasted a
very long time.
Is there something it might missed the
doctor, the first things crossing my mind
were diabetes, anemia, etc, but that would
appear on regular exams i think. Any
suggestions on how to help her, or
something to minimize the effects?
