Worried about ds14

4 replies

Before I start, I'll say now that I'm taking my ds 14 to the drs on Monday morning, I'm just so worried and wondering if anyone knows what could be wrong with him.
His symptoms
he plays football for a team, and after the first half of the last three games he's vomited

  • he has very little energy
  • he's very pale
  • he was sick last week with what I thought was a bug, and got better, but is now feeling sick again
  • his appetite has decreased
  • he's had a few headaches

I'm terrified it's something like cancer, I'm sat here shaking

Going to the dr is the right thing but it could easily be a bug or just exertion - my dd vomits after running quite often and has been fully checked out, just what her body does. Try not to worry all weekend.

Thank you for replying, I'm just terrified, he looks so pale (he's pale anyway) and I can't help thinking it's something serious, I know there's nothing I can do until I take him to the drs, but I have sever anxiety as it is, and I always, always think the worst.
He's now had a lie down and taken some paracetamol ( he felt ill today after walking around town) and he says he feels a lot better.
What if it is something serious? I've been googling like crazy, I'm so scared

Please don't inflict your anxieties on your son. You're jumping a long way from what could be a bug or deficiency to cancer. Stop Googling and see what the doctor says.

My son doesn't know how I feel, I'm not showing him how anxious I am.
