My son is 16 years old and sometimes when he is stands up he suffer lightheadedness.

I took him to the Doctor he got a blood test and a chest x ray and everything came normal. But I am worried.

Thank your for your time.

Brief Answer:
nothing much to worry!

Detailed Answer:
Hi

May be your son has mild postural hypotension.

His BP should be checked in lying and upright postures.

Hope mild anemia was ruled out by the blood tests.

Better for him to sit for a few second on the bed before he stands up from the bed.

Good luck

God bless
