Patient's question:
An 11-year-old boy was doing well in the morning when he went to school, though he had a slight 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 conclusively determined yet. To avoid delaying the diagnosis and for your health, it is recommended that you first visit a regular hospital's neurology department for a thorough examination!
