Greetings;

My son seems to be in good health, but today he rode-up on his
bike and told me he had the following symptoms:

- Dizzyness
- Black spots/stars in his eyes
- Nausea

This was the first I had heard of this from him.
He told me it has been happening once every
couple of months for the past 8 months. So
this would be approx. the 4th time in the last
8 months.

The only other things I can think of health-wise
with him would be nosebleeds every month or so
and a headache every few weeks (he tells me the
headaches he *does* get are painful. I am not sure
if they fit the description of a migraine).

His temp was normal. He looks fine, just looking at him.

He did tell me that he hasn't drank anything today and
only had a bowl of cereal to eat. Maybe it's simply
dehydration or hypoglycemia. I hope so. :(
I had him drink a bunch of water and made him some food.

I was thinking dehydration myself. The Gatorade Rain is great.. it doesn't have the strong nasty bitter taste that normal gatorade does. I like the lime it reminds me of lime Kool aide.

Another option is allergies/sinus issues. You can take hime to an ENT and get him inspected for aggravated membranes do to allergic response and/or pollumps. These things can cause nose bleeds, head aches, retained ear fluid.. all of which also offer similar symptoms.

Best of luck finding an answer.
