What Causes Dizziness And Flashing Lights In Vision?

Hi, my 10 year old said he felt dizzy, very hot and had flashing lights in front of his eyes at gym class today. He went to the bathroom and splashed cool water on his face and felt better. He seems very tired now and a little warm. Could he just been overheated? He is rarely sick. and only had an ear infection when he was one and pinkeye when he was two/three yrs. old.

Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi.
I understand your son's problem. I would like to know initially if there is any family history of migraine headache, epilepsy.Does your son take a stomach filling breakfast in the morning? Does he have wheezing problem? Does he complain of any chest discomfort or breathlessness or palpitations anytime. If none of these are there,I think you need not panic regarding one episode.Just make him have a sound sleep at night and good breakfast. If the episode recurs,I would advise you to consult your Pediatrician and evaluate his symptoms. I would be glad to clarify any further doubts.
