Feeling faint, shaky, and woozy? At random times?

For the past year i have been feeling faint at random times. I think i have had about 4 or 5 spells throughout this year? I am afraid it could be something serious. I have seen doctors and my blood sugar is normal, bp is normal, i am not anemic, i get a decent ammount of sleep, and im pretty sure i drink enough water. I am 13 years old F. Should i see another doctor? Any other advice?

There is no particular reason to believe "it's something serious". It might go away with growth.

As long as they are isolated episodes but you feel generally fine, you should be optimistic!

It doesn't mean it's only in your head, Unfortunately Medicine can't diagnose everything right away.


Feeling faint can be cause by Orthostatic Hypotension (when you get up in the morning or stand up suddenly). Feeling shaky can have multiple causes, if it gets frequent (chronic) you should see a Neurologist.

Hello~At your age, it could very well be a fluctuation in hormones. I would ask the doctor to do a basic  hormone panel, sometimes this can give an idea of what is going on.

You may have a few things, vertigo or something more serious. It can also be hormones as you are at the age of great cahnges in the body. Get tested for vertigo, hormones checked and if that all fails ask for futher examinations.
