Suggest Treatment For Frequent Dizzy Spells In A Child

Hey I am 13 years old and when I was 9. Or 10 I fainted and ever since I have been getting dizzy spells . Sometimes I will just about faint sometimes it feels like the world is spinning and I black out . I also have difficulty keeping my eyes open and feel very weak. It usually wears off after a minute or two.

Pediatrician 's  Response
Thank you dear for the question.
The problem you are describing, there seems two possibilities-
1. Anemia
2. Absence seizures.
For both the conditions you need to consult a physician/adolescent consultant who will advise investigations.
Its advisable to get diagnosed and treated as soon as possible, than worrying about condition.
I find this answer helpful
