What Causes Headaches And Lightheadedness?

Yes thank you. My 19 year old son is getting headaches and feeling light headed a few times almost close to passing out. He has had some extra stress lately starting college and dealing with friend and the family drama. He is generally healthy and not overweight but does not eat overly healthy but not terrible Thanks

Hi,

Can you please check his blood pressure while lying down and standing position? This could be a case of postural hypotension. He needs to be well hydrated at all times and take sodium and potassium rich foods. Get his Complete blood count too.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Alyan Fattah
