What Causes Child To See Black And Blue Spots During Exercise?
Question: My 7 year old son has started to c/o seeing black and blue colored spots when he wakes up and during exercise. ie during recess or pe. He seems to get tired easy during play and often says he need to stop and take a break. What could this be? He is in good shape and plays sports
Brief Answer:
Spots
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
The most common reason for children of this age to tire out sooner than their friends is lung related. there could sometimes be some mild lung constriction, similar to asthma, that causes the oxygen level to be just a bit lower. This typically leads to tiring easily, and the spots you describe.
In this case, the treating with an inhaler prior to exercise solves the problem. It is not a difficult treatment and the kids are able to participate in everything without a problem.
I recommend consulting with your doctor and having your son examined so that treatment can begin as soon as possible,
