What Causes Dizziness In A Child?
My 14 year old daughter has had spells of feeling light headed reccently, has not passed out, but become dizzy and had to sit down immediately. She had blood test last week. Results came today Thyroid ok, complete bloodwork good, liver enzymes good, but bilirubin high. Doctor has ordered an ultrasound of the abdomen. I am worried, not knowing any possible causes of this. I would like to go in a little informed of what possible reasons could be.

Hi...by what you quote I feel that it could be Vertigo. This occurs when there is a problem in the middle ear which serves not only as an organ of listening but also as an organ of balancing. If I were your pediatrician I would consider doing an MRI brain and ears and also refer you to an ENT surgeon trained in pediatric ENT problems. Tablet Vertin might help.
