What Causes Lightheadedness And Dizziness In A 12 Year Old Boy?
yes. my 12 year old son came to me saying that he was feeling light headed and dizzy. Then shortly after said his stomach was upset and felt nauseous. His father and I think he may have strained his eyes because he is always watching utube videos and or playing video games. He has had an eye exam about 3-4 months ago and everything was fine he didn t need glasses. I m thinking he has some sort of eye strain stomach virus or dehydration. he has no known allergies and doesn t take any medication of any kind. Up to date on all his immunizations and his last dr. visit was on February 9,2016 for an ear infection/cold/sore throat. which cleared up without any problems with amoxicillin antibiotics. it is 4:03pm central time and he first complained around 1pm.

General & Family Physician, Dr. Vasudha's Response
Hi,
Eye sight problems can cause headache and dizziness, even nausea. Just nausea does not cause dehydration and if you think his intake of water is less, encourage drinking light drinks with sugar and salt. If his digestion is affected, he needs detailed physical examination and needful investigations to pin point the cause so that he can be treated well. Please consult your family physician. Similarly, his repeat eye check up is advised. You should also restrict his watching you tube programmes. Do eye exercises.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
