Suggest Treatment For Dizzy Spells,headache And Blurred Vision In A Child

My 13yr old daughter has been having dizzy spells, headaches and blurry vision for the past 7 months. She just recently started her period for the first time and had what seemed a normal cycle. She also just had a physical last week and mentioned these symtoms to our pediatrician who dismissed them as head rushes . My daughter made it quite clear that is was much worse than that and that it was interfering with school. She is also extremely fatigued after school and on the weekends. She is on Vyvanse for ADD, and has really enjoyed the small dosage benefits of the medication. She is also 5 10 and 136lbs. It s now at the point where she s having issues going up/down our stairs to her room. What should I, as a parent, do? They tested her levels (at the peds office) and she does not have anemia. What else can I request to have done? Thank you!

Pediatrician 's  Response
Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) may cause drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, light-headedness, shortness of breath, fainting.
Consult pediatrician who will do detailed clinical examination to find out the exact cause of such complaints. If it's due to lisdexamfetamine your doctor will adjust it's dose or introduce new medicine.
