My sons worrying micro black outs – orthostatic-hypotension?
Hi B & D!
I’m coming to you after exhausting all traditional and alternative medical advice. My 14 YO son suffers from micro blackouts (2-4 seconds). It all started when he was diagnosed with influenza B in Nov 2019 which lead to mild pneumonia for which he was hospitalised for a couple of days. It also coincided with his first major growth spurt. It definitely happens more when he stands up from sitting. We have had everything checked but every specialist has said he should just stand up slowly and stay hydrated (there have been times when he’s fallen and hurt himself). So after getting all his bloods checked, optimal nutrition, adequate hydration – is there anything else I can do. I realise it’s BP related but I’m worried about long term effects.
