What Causes Headache And Fainting To A 13 Year Old?
Hi, i have a 13 yr old boy who has been complaining of headaches on the left side of his head, 2 weeks ago he fainted at school,we took him to the hospital and left pupil was not responsive to the torch test initially. Dr says he may be stressed , or developing migraines or could have had a peitit mal seizure but if concerned see someone if happens again. Is this possibly just stressed if headaches have continued.

Hi
Welcome to the HCM
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. I would recommend you a complete neurological evaluation of your child to rule out Focal seizures, migraine, space occupying lesion or migraine as cause of his illness. This will help in definitive treatment.
The evaluation will include: neurological clinical examination, EEG, MRI if needed and serum electrolyte levels.
Hopefully this will help you.
Take care
