I always feel dizzy and I am worried? :(?
When I was 10 years old I passed out at school, it was my first time fainting and because it was so hot my mom thought it was because of dehydration. I have passed out 4 other times, at a store, doctors office, my college class, and the U.S.S. Hornet. Ages 16-19. Since then my doctor referred me to a cardiologist, I now know I have Vasovagal Syncope. Syncope is another word for fainting. I usually have symptoms of feeling hot, sweaty and dizzy then when I wake up I'm on the floor. This is common among adolescents and young adults and can usually go away in their mid 20's. I am now 21 and take medication, Atenolol. Just to lower my hear rate to prevent me from passing out, so far it's good. I haven't passed out in almost 2 years. For you, it could be along with the stress of being bullied and also an underlining health problem. Your mom should be more concerned about your health because I learned if my condition wasn't taking care of then I could have died. When your dizzy that has nothing to do with hormones. Ask your dad to see a doctor. You should also drink more water, just in case you may be dehydrated. Also, before I would pass out during the years, I would also experiences dizziness but stopped when I laid down. (It's electrical pauses that stop my heart, my heart stopped for 8 seconds one time). Take care of this now before it makes a bigger problem, beg your mom and dad to take you.
