Question
A 15-year-old girl frequently faints at school. Hospital checks have not revealed a clear cause. She was previously diagnosed with low blood sugar, but she recently fainted again with shortness of breath, and it’s unclear if it’s related to her stress. What are the symptoms of low blood sugar? What could be causing her frequent fainting?
Answer
For the recurrent dizziness symptoms mentioned, if the child still experiences discomfort after normal meals, it is recommended to perform a blood glucose test when symptoms recur to confirm the presence of hypoglycemia. In addition, a routine blood test should be conducted to rule out symptoms caused by anemia. Consider undergoing an echocardiogram to check for symptoms caused by heart valve diseases.
