Patient's question:
An 11-year-old boy was doing well on his way to school in the morning, just a bit of a cold. During class, he suddenly felt short of breath, had a headache, and started vomiting. His face turned pale, and he lost consciousness for about ten to twenty minutes before waking up again. After a hospital examination, everything was normal. What could be the reason? If he goes to another hospital for further examination, which department should he see? Thank you! (This has happened a second time; it also occurred around 2011.)Doctor's answer:
Headache and dizziness symptoms are associated with a wide range of diseases, such as neurological disorders, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, orthopedic diseases, and others. It may also be caused by conditions like anemia, inner ear issues, or hypoglycemia. Your condition cannot be definitively diagnosed yet. To avoid delaying the treatment and for your health, it is recommended that you first visit a regular hospital's neurology department for a thorough examination!We know that neurological diseases in children can cause significant harm. If left untreated or if the treatment is not appropriate, the condition can progress rapidly, bringing great harm to the patient. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and seek timely medical treatment.
