i don't think that is too normal... it could maybe happen from not eating , bloodsugars or something likethat  |

I think calling the doctor may be a good idea.... I don't know what it could be maybe something as simple as something wrong with her sinuses or an inner ear infection....but i'm sure going to the doc will help ease your mind  |

I was thinking the same thing, but she always eats good...She's never been one to not eat. She's very athletic, eats healthy, and isn't currently on her period. I'm just at a loss here....  |

Tell your daughter she's not alone. I get random headahces, and dizziness VERY often. It's NOT just from standing up quickly, though. Then I feel headed, and then restrained.
I don't know what it is.  |

Dreamer, I wondered if it could be something like that too. She doesn't seem to be stopped up or anything, but I am pretty sure that an inner ear infection would cause vertigo. I'm just concerned because of the frequent headaches, dizziness, and now this....  |

Mailiani, she hasn't complained of being hot or feeling restrained....She was pure white though. I'm not sure whether or not that means anything....  |

A trip to the docs to make sure nothings wrong is a good idea, I tend to think though that it is just a part of her body growing up and she'll grow out of it within a year or two. She might be a little anaemic..not uncommon at her age......huggsss  |

No, this sounds like she needs to see a Doctor and soon. Since she did pass out and hit her head I would take her to the emergency room, just to be on the safe side. I will keep you both in my prayers.  |

You are doing the right thing! Really need to find the cause. Early intervention is important in many serious cases. My prayers are with you. RAT |

Because you say she also had headaches along with the symptom of dizziness and then this fainting episode....it brings to mind dehydration. Is she drinking enough fluids? Yes....I would take her to see a doctor just to have a check up and make sure that it is not something more serious. More than likely it will be something simple....but you want to rule anything else out first with a doctor before just brushing it off.  |

if you can get her on a multi-vitamin.. it can't do her any harm to have one and they are always a good thing to have.. we as a society in general tend to lack alot in our diets.. personally i think everyone could use a multi-vitamin a day just for that extra boost  |

my youngest had headaches like crazy at 5 and up. she has terrible allergies...and the doctor couldnt figure the rest out. she also has a compressed ear drum (nothing can be done about that. stress can also bring on symptoms. you would think a child would have no stress..but they do. I hope all is well tac. let us know. *huGz*  |

This doesn't sound normal tac..get her to the doc asap! I'd also make sure she gets a cat scan and an MRI just to be safe. Her headaches may be migraines. Please keep us updated!!  |

Hey everyone! Sorry this is so late in coming, but I went ahead and took her to the ER yesterday because she said that her legs felt "funny" when she tried to walk and she blacked out again. The doctor ran an EKG, along with some blood tests and came to the conclusion that it is either a blood sugar problem, (can't know for sure without proper tests) or A-typical migraine condition, or a vasovagal attack. At any rate,I feel better knowing that it isn't more serious. Thank you all so much for your responses.  |
