Experiencing Constant Headaches, Lightheadedness, Faintiness, Tremors, Vibration In Face, Change In Blood Pressure, Heart Rate. Indications?

My teenage daughter, 13, is experiencing constant headaches that come in the morning and last all day. Some days they change in frequency of pain and area of the head. This began in early October '13 and is still persistant as of Nov. '13. As of a couple of weeks ago, she began feeling light headed at various times of the day. This has also been constant but changes in intensity (comes and goes). As of a week ago, the light headedness escalated to fainting. Also, having her left arm tremor (shake) at time of fainting and a "vibration" sensation in her face occur at the same time. These symptoms have remained constant for one and a half months. Also, her blood pressure has been recorded high on some days and other days low or normal (141/85 being highest and 98/57 being lowest). Also, flucuations in heart rate at times (120 bpm highest).

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
I would come up with these possibilities for headache and fluctuating blood pressure, these includes.
1 Congenital heart disease , diagnosis can be confirmed by E K G and ECHO.
2 Hormonal imbalance develops anxiety and tension in teenagers .Diagnosis can be confirmed by blood examination for oestrogen, androgen, FSH/LH ratio.
3 As you mentioned that she develop tremors in left hand with lightheadedness and intense headache so may be due to brain lesion.Diagnosis can be confirmed by MRI of brain for for tremors.
In my opinion first of all consult a physician and get his opinion.
Good luck.
Dr. HET
