STEVE
YOUR DAUGHTER
HAS SHE STARTED HER PERIODS
IF YES IS IT THE FIRST DAY
VERY COMMON
BUT DAUGHTER HAS TO GO ON THE PILL
TO STOP IT HAPENING

hi

i had the same thing in my teens.my syptoms are exacley the same as your daughters.

when i first went doctor's they tried to blame it on stress because of school work then they said it was through eating cheese.

it was not because of any of these reason's i just was unlucky and suffered with migraines they ended up giveing me tablets that were bright pink and bright yellow.

if i got a migrain i would have to take two yellow tablets and if that did not help it then i could take a pink one.



now that i am older when i last went to the doctor's for it. he started to explain that (this is a doctor's theory not mine) people that get it have a slight hole in there heart nothing to worry about in anyway but it allows to much of one chemical to excape and goes to the brain causeing the magrain. he then ask if i wanted to take part in trails where there doing small operations on people with this to close the hole to see if it gets rid of the magraines but i said no 1 because i'm a chicken and 2 because i'm not about to risk being a guinne pig when its not yet knowen if its safe to do it.

hope this helps.

but don't let the doctor phobe her of with silly reason's. make sure he give's her something for it and let the school know so that way if she gets one in school she can go straight home.

Steve my daughter's the same age & often gets very fainty. Her's is caused by low blood pressure which is always back to normal by the time we get to the docs.

I've bought a blood pressure monitor from Lloyds & use that if she's unwell, make a record of the reading & give it to the doc. It was less than £10

...good that it is going to be investigated xx

Hi Guys

Thanks all for the input, she went and had a chat with the doc and he was not sure so he is going to refer her to see a consultant for testes

Sorry i have not been able to get back this morning but i was busy talking to Jax as you will see from my thread about her

Sounds a lot like Migraines to me. I get some of those symptoms. Not everyone gets the same symptoms with migraine.

Hope your Daughter got sorted at the Doctors.

Just read this Steve..........................

hope things are sorted out soon...........

Has she been tested for diabetes Steve? hope all is ok,

my mum and my sister get these symptoms just before a vertigo attack
i always thought that was something to do with heights but apparently it can be triggered by sitting staring at a computer screen for too long (as in my sisters case)
or wearing the wrong perscription glasses (mum)

hope this helps

Hi Steve,My daughter suffers with her mouth drooping and her arm going numb as well since she was 14.She is usually sick and then all symptons disappear.Been diagnosed with migraine. Annie

Hi Steve

Ask your doctor to refer her to an ENT Consultant, as these are my symptoms, and it is Menieres Disease with me.

I collapse 2 or 3 times a month. Other symptoms of menieres are hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, brain fog etc.

The ENT Consultant will arrange tests for her in a special room filled with flashing light banks, a bit like a disco, followed by laying on the bed and having warm water put into each ear. This will send her off on a dizzy one. They will be able to tell then which ear the Menieres is in.

Google Menieres Disease and have a look at the Society's website for more info.

Hopefully it is not this for your daughter and it turns out to be something simple and 'teenage' such as gallivanting hormones, but seeing as they took 3 years to diagnose me I wouldn't like her to have to go through all the procedures I went through before they found out what it was.

Give her a big hug from me.

hi just steve your daughters symtoms are the same i get just before a migraine the best thing she can do if shes at home is to go bed and sleep it off make sure the room is dark or wear eye masks kind regards kerry

When I was in my late teens I was often unwell in the time between menstruating. and the works nurse sometimes had to come and fetch me and take me to lay down for a while. She told me it was something to do with ovulation but I can't find the information on line, probably because I am not putting the right info into the search box. Could be something like that causing it.
Hope the doctor can help and she is soon fine again.
