To take d's back to the GP DH thinks I'm over reacting

Ok so a little bit of back story I'll try to keep it short.
Ds has had dizzy spells for over a year. All ok'd by paediatric hospital doctor and told he most like has migraines.
He had a fall in school last week and had to have a ct scan which was all clear.
Dizzy spells seem to have become much less frequent but tonight ds said that when he blinks he sometimes sees a 'shadow' for a few seconds afterwards. These shadows include a vampire (with teeth I might add) a lion, tiger, and today he saw a skeleton?
Aibu to take him back? Dh thinks he just has an over active imagination but together with the dizzy spells he was having and he also has a sensitivity to light I just have a niggling feeling that something is wrong.
Am I nuts? GrinConfused

I would take him back.

No I wouldn’t be happy but I would go to the opticians for a check up there as well.

How old is he?

SecretIsland · 09/05/2018 21:07

Opticians first then GP.

Mums instinct rules - take him back

NotBeforeMyCoffee · 09/05/2018 21:08

Sorry should have said he's almost 5. He's had an eye test at school and at our local optician just last week. All ok.

What harm can it do to take him back?
I'd personally rather look a bit daft because everything is fine.

NotBeforeMyCoffee · 09/05/2018 21:20

Yeah I agree pica I'm a rather safe than sorry kind of person.

And also why shouldn't you listen to him? If he's just got eye floaters and he's making sense of them in his own way that's hardly bad behaviour. He's just telling you what he sees.
There's that saying if you don't listen about the small stuff when they're young they don't tell you about the big stuff when they're older.
And if you google eye floaters there's some alarming links to diabetes etc.
Go to the Dr.

Definitely go back to GP.
I would ask for a referral to ENT for an assessment for balance/middle ear issues to rule out that being the cause of the dizziness.

NotBeforeMyCoffee · 11/05/2018 09:28

EllenOlenska he has actually been to ENT and no middle ear issues. Pretty much everything was ruled out but with the light sensitivity, headache and nausea they decided on paediatric migraine. I'm wondering if the shapes could be in having migraine with aura which I have myself but mine comes as a grey patch.

That's good that it's been ruled out. I do empathise, have had migraine with aura problems since my teens which calmed down post 18 but then manifested again (but that time with added balance issues and nausea) the year after my DS was born in my mid 20's. I hope you find some resolution for him.
