DD has low pressure, usually not a too bad thing, but the gp took it, asked her to stand up and said that it was so low at that point that she couldn't find it. DD had gone because she was often feeling faint and ill. GP told her not to miss meals and to eat healthily.
She doesn't miss, and hasn't been missing, meals.
She has a healthy diet.
She is not anorexic.
This, whatever it is, is impacting on her life and her ability to work. She can't think when she's having a spell, she can't concentrate, she gets weak and shakey; she was nearly in tears last night because she hadn't been able to work for much of the w/e and hadn't finished her homework.
She is 16 in first year of sixth form, so it's quite important to try to get her well again.
Besides force-feeding her liqurice, I don't know what to do for her. I have no idea what could be causing it either. Any ideas?
