15 Year Wrestler Suffering From Dizziness, Light Headed, Heart Palpitations. Recommendations?
Hi my 15 yr old son is a wrestler and originally we thought it was just during wrestling but now it's just during the day walking to class he is dizzy, light headed sometimes heart palpitations, shaky. We r seeing a cardiologist going for a stress test tomorrow but today at school he had several episodes. I am having him drink more and Gatorade during school. Nobody did blood work to check his sugar etc...

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
Cephalic ischemia is a disorder in which blood supply reduces to brain , hence dizziness.
Vestibular dysfunction is disorder of 8 th cranial nerve, hence disorder,
Hypotension ( reduction in blood pressure due to exertion, wrestling),
Hypoglycemia ( reduction in glucose level in body),
Dehydration due to loss of water during exertion because of wrestling.
Anemia ( less amount of hemoglobin ).
palpitation is not due to any diorder ( cardiac disorder) but due to dizziness or vertigo .
When any type of anxiety is there , palpitation will occurs.
So consult a physician and get in his opinion.
Hope I have answered your question.
If further any question I will help.
Good luck.
