Background - my friend's sil has epilepsy. Lately his 11 yo daughter has been complaining of dizziness, light headed, and feeling like she's outside of her body for very brief moments. She says it doesn't happen often and she feels funny afterwards.
Dad took her to the dr. The dr took her blood pressure lying down, sitting up, and standing up. Dr's diagnosis based on the differing fluctuations in blood pressure is dehydration. Dr claims this is normal in girls this age because they don't want to use the bathroom at school.
Child is to drink 2 bottles of water at school during the day. Dr recommended no further testing be done.
Does this sound right? I have never heard of it before.
