Son had a short headache then blacked out?

[ProbablyMe]

My 11 year old son has told me that whilst at school this afternoon he got a sudden, bad headache that lasted for about 2 minutes followed by sitting down via he felt rough and then apparently blacking out for about a minute.

No staff were around but a number of his friends were.

The school has apparently "made a note of it" But didn't tell me.

He now says he feels poorly and a bit dizzy (but not too dizzy for the iPad!) he had a cold last week and has other chronic health issues but nothing that should cause anything like this. I'm not a particularly paranoid parent - he's the youngest of 4 and has been hospitalised many times and I'm fairly very laid back usually but I'm a bit concerned.

Any ideas?

This is one for a&e as far as I would be concerned. Hope it's nothing serious but it is definitely something I would want checking out as soon as possible.

I've talked to one of his friends mums who spoke to her son who said that he thought DS was pretending to be asleep but she also thought that her DS wouldn't know what he was looking for anyway. There was apparently a teacher there too who just told my DS to wake up and some other people pulled his face and blazer.

He's now also said that he fell over (fainted?) 4-5 times today.

He has open access on a children's ward at our local hospital for long term reasons - will give them a call.

Oh no! How scary.

Glad you are giving them a call and I hope all is ok.
