For the past 4 months my 12 yr old son has
been dealing w/ bouts of
fainting, lightheadedness/vertigo? Each
occurance has been while seated at school.
Tests he's taken to date: tilt table,
stress, mri, eeg, ekg
echocardiogram, blood sugar. Of these,
the tilt test induced fainting
but the cardiologist informed me that
there was no change in my son's
blood pressure or heart rate.
When symptoms flare up at home it's
usually when he awakens in the morning.
His condition doesn,'t affect him
participating in normal activities.

Hi there,
i would suggest going to a natropath, but
do your homework...I go to a
natrotherapist that actuall looks at your
blood under a microscope. (it s amazing
what it can tell you)
has his diet changed at all in the last 4
months and is it only at school?
I would also check with the principal to
see if there are any other kids feeling
like this...Get the question out there!
Mybe a mold or formaldehyde issue??
Look at all angles...Hope this helps...Let
me know what you discover.

Sorry to hear about your son. My daughter
was having the same symtops
her diagnosis was hyper thyroidism. She
was also fainting at school,
weak, and over all under the weather. It
became worse during testing time or when
she was stressed. She is being treated
with medicine.
She saw an endorcranologist, he did
indepth blood work and did
an mri scan on her brain. That is when
the discover of a tumor on the
base of her thyroid was made. Since then
she has had an mri every year
and now attends college. Hope this
helps.
