11 Year Son, Dizziness, Fatigue, Palpitation After Exercise, Numb Throat. Hormonal Imbalance?

Hi doctor,
I have a eleven year old son. He always feels dizzy, fatigued, and palpitate recently especially after exercise and eating food. He also feels numb in the throat. Yesterday, after a nap, he woke up with dizzy and numb all over and hard to talk. We called 911, did the ECG test, blood sugar and other blood test , it shows normal. We also did the thyroid test, it also shows normal. He has severe allergy and he grows so fast this month, almost 3cm in this month. could it be "Hormonal Imbalance"?

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

He needs complete evaluation by cardiologist to look for any underlying heart problems.

Holter monitoring and 2D Echo may be required to rule out any heart structural and functional abnormality.

What is his hemoglobin level?

During this age growth is more because of hormonal effects which occur at the onset of puberty.

This is not due to hormonal imbalance.

Consult your Pediatrician for initial evaluation followed by cardiologist referral.

Hope I have answered your query.

Regards.
