What Causes Frequent Dizziness In A Child?
My 15 year old daughter often suffers from dizziness which can last up to a few days. I suspected low blood pressure as I suffered from it at her age. I brought a machine and her blood pressure over the last few days is around 98/65 but her pulse rate resting has been 90-100. Should I be concerned. She has had every blood test you can imagine and nothing has shown up.

Hello
It seems from the history that your 15 year old daughter is having frequent dizziness. The commonest cause in this age is hypovolemia resulting in hypoxia. This can be caused by anemia, hypotension...
Since the blood pressure is below100 this requires attention first.
She need to increase intake of fluids and salt to increase her blood pressure. Anemia needs to be ruled out.
Thank you
