Hi there..

Thanks for writing in.

The possiblities I can think of are anaemia, low blood sugars, low blood pressure, thyroid disorders , depression, etc.

Also do find out if she has any problems at school. Is she worried or anxious about certain things at school etc. Talk to her.

I would advise you to visit a physician and get the following done:
Get her blood pressure checked.
Investigations like Hemoglobin, TSH, Random blood sugar, Vitamin D , Vitamin B12, and serum electrolytes.

If everything is Ok...then sign up for yoga classes which might help.

In the meantime, let her eat well balanced nutritious meals.
Drink 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Hope your daughter feels better soon.

Have a good day

Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
