What Causes Paleness And Passing Out In A 12 Year Old?

My daughter 12 passed out twice within a minute of each other we were at the beach she was r
eally hot and hungry. A nurse was there and she told me her pupils got really small. My daughter went really pale and her eyes were open. She said she could hear me calling her name. What does this mean.?

The most likely reason for this would be dehydration which may have likely been made worse by heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Always be sure that you and your family are drinking plenty of fluids when out in the heat. This is particularly true at the beach where sun exposure is greatest.
