Hello, my name is Dylan, I am 12, and new to this website.
So, for the past few years, I haven't been feeling very well the second I get in a car. I have had this feeling ever since my concussion in 2011. My head just gets an unexplainable feeling, like my brain is just... numb? I don't get lightheaded or feel like I'm going to pass out, but I do feel like I'm going to throw up. I have done tons of research on it, but have not found anything. It is probably linked to, I don't know, medical conditions or something. Here are some problems or past problems I had or have:
-Like I said, I got a concussion, but it was on my birthday while my friend was there, so it was pretty traumatic for him, let alone my family.
-Sticking to my concussion, I did not eat a lot, and when I was recovering, I got, like, 5x my appetite back. I went from 85 lbs. to 120 lbs.
-Here's how it happened: I hit my elbow on the back of my chair. I must've had a bad reaction to the pain, because I had an unconscious seizure. My mom said I had extended my arms and legs straight out, and was crying. The next thing I know, I was laying on the floor with this horrible throb covering my head. Apparently, I had just fell 3 feet flat on my face on tile floor, and ended up with a concussion. I had an EEG and many other tests following that day.
-I have ADHD, and have had 3 straight years of TORTURE of teachers disliking me and my energy.
-I have depression. My bestbestbest BEST friend, Timmy, moved away to Las Vegas, so I barely have time to talk to him, due to the differentiations in the time zones. I am extremely depressed because of that.
-My English student teacher's last day was on December 13, and he was basically a 24-year-old version of Timmy, so that was really hard for me, also.
-I do not have anxiety, nor do I think I have it.
-I get head rushes. Constantly. All the time is just stand up, get dizzy, see spots, sit down, get up. I hate it.
-My parents have checked my blood pressure a few times, and I'm fine by those means.
-I get migraines from time to time.
-I have been getting headaches almost as often than my head rushes. I get headaches around my occipital region almost every day, and it really, really hurts.
My teachers think I am a great student. I am handling my energy pretty well. I am very smart, and am a straight A student. When I am feeling sad or depressed, my mom is the one to console me. She handles it very well.
I can't think of anything that could be it. I have told my psychiatrist, and first he said I could be having seizures, but I do not get confused, so he said it might not be. Then he said I might be clostrophobic, but I have been in way tighter spaces. I have no idea what it could be, and I am pretty scared. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
