What Causes Light Headedness In An Adolescent Athletic?
Hello, My son who is an athlete (17) is very healthy. Has games or practice 5 to 6 days a week. The last month he has had episodes where he is a little light headed. After laying down and resting he is totally fine. Is this a normal/growing thing? or should I be concerned ? Thanks

Hello,
Multiple episodes of lightheadedness needs to be investigated. I suggest you to consult your cardiologist for clinical assessment to look for any cardiac or vascular abnormality.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
