I need advice on my son please

[beva32]

My 12 year old has been complaining of dizziness for some time now. He playa baseball and is out in the heat a lot, I give him pleanty of water but he complains of being dizzy mostly at night. He says it feels like he is car sick. Can this be because of the heat or puberty maybe? Should I take him to see a doctor? Please help.

Also, there is such thing as vertigo.  You  might want to talk to an Ear Nose and Throat specialist. Vertigo is a middle ear thing where someone gets dizzy, feels nautious, especially when they turn there head or get up quickly. Just a thought.

PS Low blood sugar doesnt mean he is diabetic it could be that he isnt eating enough for the exercise he is getting.. again I advise a check up..

It could be that he is getting low Blood sugar symptoms , Hypoglycemia, ask your Doctor , Children dont always like veg and fruit I know its a hard one, but he is old enough to explain for his health he would feel beter if he did eat healthily ,you can google to get a print out of foods that are beneficial to him, I also am a believer in food supplements so I would get him started on a Multiple Vitamin -antioxidant B Complex / Vit C maybe some fish oil  by the way there are many fresh friut drinks that taste great, let him come with you to the store and choose some foods he would like to eat, tell him he should choose a fresh fruit plus one fresh veg each day, how about those baby carrots and a tasty dip ,banana , apples. Keep up the water drinking ...

It seems to be that he gets these symptoms more after baseball practice but he has not practiced the last 2 days because he split his chin on wednesday and got stiches. We live in Southern California and it is HOT! He doesnt really like to eat fruits or veggies and when I give them to him he eats very little do you think it could be what he is or isnt eating? Thanks for your help

It is always good to get unexplained symptoms checked out. So he has some nausea aswell as dizziness, how is his diet, does he eat well, does he feel bad only after baseball or do the symptoms arise even when he doesnt play.Dos he enjoy playing baseball ? how amny times a week does he play, is he well at school any feelings of dizziness when he is there.
