What Causes Severe Dizziness And Tingling Sensation In Hands?
I have a 14 year old daughter who is very athletic. In the past several weeks, she has been dizzy when getting up from a lying position and she said her hands feel tingly. she also said she only white and feel like she is in a bucket for a few seconds this all resolves in a few seconds. She does not have shortness of breathe or heart palpitations. She had her physical a few weeks ago but did not mention anything to her doctor. He cleared her for sports this winter. Thoughts??

Hi....By what you quote I feel that she is having vertigo. This is a middle ear pathology where in the balancing will be lost momentarily while the kid closes the eyes and it will be very fleeting and momentary and again the balance will be regained. This occurs especially when the kid is changing position or turning around etc.
I suggest you consult her pediatrician or ENT surgeon for this - as this will require evaluation and medications.
