Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a 13 yr old girl who is 5 feet tall and every fall at school (all of October) I become extremely tired and nauseous. Sometimes I fell so ill while standing I may break out into a sweat, go quite pale and sometimes lose vision (goes black/ purple then goes blurry stays this way for aprox 45 seconds after sitting/ lying down) however after eating some sugar and drinking a fruit juice I feel better... Until the next day. In October I do not change my diet or gave any more/less physical activity. Many of my teachers and friends suggest I am anemic but what do you, a doctor think?
Hello... From your description of symptoms, i would suggest you to go for two tests first of all. One is Haemoglobin Level and other is Blood glucose level. Your symptoms point towards anaemia of course, but complete examination is necessary. So i advise you to consult a physician and get done these tests. Best Wishes
