my daughter felt a pop or release in the back of her head and her eyes moved backwards, she also could not walk because she felt as if everything around her was moving. gave her an aspirin, she did not want to go to the ER. she also is an anxious girl but she was fine doing her homework when this happened.

Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic .

I shall be considering here the most probable causes of vertigo / dizziness in a school going child .

1. Benign positional vertigo , a spinning feeling that occurs when you move the
head ,this does not need any treatment , just rest is enough .

2. Absence seizures -most commonly found to start in children in the age group of 4 yrs to 12 yrs .

The hallmark of the absence seizures is abrupt and sudden-onset impairment of consciousness, interruption of ongoing activities, a blank stare, possibly a brief upward rotation of the eyes.

You can check for this condition by asking her to continuously breath deep and fast (hyperventilate ) for 3 mins .Hyperventilation can more than 80% of times induce the seizures again .

I would advise you to take it seriously and take her to a neurolgist whho would then get an EEG done to rule out seizures .
