Child With Morning Dizziness. Tested Diabetes. Suggestion?
Hi there, my 7yr old son has mentioned being dizzy many times. Often being when he first wakes up. He has a very high pain tolerance and with that said it worries me that something else may be wrong but he doesn t realize it. I have had him checked for diabetes twice because he is thirsty all the time and uses the restroom more frequently than seems normal. Any suggestions?
few tests need to be done- BP of the child, vision testing, fundus examination, hemogram, these are few baseline tests . possible causes- anaemia, poor vision, hypertension.
these need to be ruled out.
DM presenting like this is unlikely. frequent urination check how thirsty he is ? how much water he drinks? if he is dehydrated? this could lead to dizziness
get all these tests done let me know the results
take care
