My sister is dizzy all the time..why is that?

My sister is dizzy all the time..why is that?

My sister just turned 16 and for about a year now she complains of headaches and dizziness.  When she stands up to fast she says that her head starts spinning and she feels a little nauseous.  Also she has been craving ice like there is no tomorrow.  Maybe I am being to over protective of her because I'm her older sister but anything will help to clear my troubled mind.  


Sincerely, Aries171

Hi, I think it might be possible that her iron is low, has she had it checked? The ice to me, is a definate indicator, and I think it is possible for the dizziness to be linked to iron defeciency also. Could be a very simple solultion to a seemingly complicated problem...

Does she eat enough, what is her eating pattern if she doesnt eat regularly she will have the symptoms you describe , Break fast . lunch and dinner all important ..maybe a visit to the Doc to get her checked out is a good idea ..good luck .
