Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
my three year old has been suffering from dizzy spells for the past three month s- she describes it as her head is shaking. She does not visibly shake however. The doctor is not too concerned and has found nothing physically wrong. Should I have blood test s carried out - or even a scan?

Hi Thanks for asking Based on your query, my opinion is 1. Dizziness is caused commonly due to anemia, other causes being hypoglycemia, hypotension. 2. You need get some blood tests for him, complete hemogram, random glucose levels and get his blood pressure checked. 3. Get a stool examination too for parasites/ malabsorption. 4. These tests would rule out/ confirm the above mentioned causes for dizziness. 5. You can also take a ENT opinion for dizziness/ vertigo Hope this helps Regards
