Would be grateful for any thoughts.
10 year old boy, good health. He does have asthma but this is well controlled. Appetite enormous as always.
Since the beginning of the school holidays he's complained of feeling nauseous and having a headache. No pattern to it, not worse in the morning or evening, doesn't wake him at night and he's never actually vomiting
At fist I thought it was car sickness. He can be leaping about singing one moment and then he says he feels sick and has a headache. Ten mins later - he's ok
No pain in his stomach. No balance issues. No searing pains, he can be distracted from it too. This week I took him to the doctors. He was seen yesterday and she said she is confident this is migrainous or tension headaches. Said it was not at all brain related. Looked at me as if I was mad when I pressed her on this as of course this is my worry. Said to try nurofen.
He had a sight test a fortnight ago and his prescription has doubled in four months (no surprise as I am -8 with varifocals now). I've got another test booked at an independent optician specialising in kids on Friday - just in case this is his glasses and he said any old rubbish in the first test
I've got him sickness bands and I've upped his fluids.
As it's been the holidays, screen time has been almost constant so it could be this I suppose
Anyway, any ideas? I'm really worried despite the doctor telling me it was certainly not what I thought deep down
