Any Suggestion For Child Feeling Weak, Agitated, Crying Always And Breathing Problem ?

My 11 years old daughter complains she feels weak and agitated and begins to cry almost every other day. Time to time complains about breathing problem. We have had her checked for asthma and other but no result. She is not worried about anything. She is a Beta-Thalassemia carrier and her mother diabetic. Confused!

Hi, please get a complete blood count, urine routine test and a random blood sugar test done for the child if these tests have not been done before. Tiredness may be due to anemia or blood sugar related issues so these have to be ruled out. A spirometry test may also be done to test for lung function. You may also get a test called TSH done which is a screening test for thyroid function. Is the child's height and weight OK. Based on the above I could give you a more comprehensive opinion. How is the school environment and academic performance of the child. Are there any issues at school that are distressing?. Children at that age are in a state of transition or preadolescence. You may have a friendly discussion to explore if there are academic or interpersonal issues at school or home. Please post the test results here so that I may assist you with more information. Warmest regards
