What Causes Lightheadedness And Nausea While Practising Sports?

My 10 yr old daughter has started experiencing light headedness, dizziness, and shaking when playing or practicing sports. While playing soccer she breaths very heavy then hits a wall about 15 min into the game. Recently she has taken up ppitching for softball and during her lessons she sees spots, bright lights, feels like she will pass out, and becomes nausious. Our Dr thought it might be exercise induced asthma but even with the inhaler she still has these issues. Could there be something else I should have her tested for?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Your doctor, before coming to his conclusion, that the problem could be exercise induced asthma, must have went through ritualistic physical and pathological investigations. In that case,, if the investigations are done, the problem could be anxiety and obsession.

Anxiety could also cause such symptoms but there will not be any organic reasons. Your 10 year young girl is learning life and at this age, they learn diseases too. At such an age, obsessing with health problems are also common. She could need health related psychological counseling.

Good luck. Take care.
