Light Headedness, Dizziness, Pale, Stomachache, Vomiting. Low Blood Sugar Suspected. Advise?
Hello. My daughter is 14. She has been getting these lighthead, dizzy, pale episodes for the past year. One morning she could hear me but she didn't know where I was even though I was 3 inches from her face. We never know why or when she will get these spells. Today she got a bad head with a stomach ache and felt faint. She just threw up a few minutes ago. I don't believe it's viral because it is similiar to the way she usually acts. Her doctor said its low blood sugar but she eat pretty regular

Hi,
Based on details of headache, dizzy, pale episodes ,with unable to see transiently followed by vomiting, need to rule out seizure (type of fit without loss of consciousness).History suggest occipital type of seizure.
She require neurological examination and scan brain to rule out structural lesion and EEG .
Consult Neurologist for same.
Hope this will help you
Regards
