Ds 14 woke up last Friday feeling sick after he had been toilet said he didn't feel great. He's not one to want days of school, so presumed he would be coming down with something.
He just wanted to lie back down didn't want anything to eat or drink.
I let him stay off he stayed in bed eventually had a drink in between dosing and saying he still wasn't great but no other symptoms .
Later on Dd came home and we were talking and she said it's probably his iron so I thought hmm I've had that before the brain fog, dizziness ect 1st thing in morning and he would prob describe them symptoms as feeling sick . So I picked him up an iron prick test from Tesco did that and it said abnormal by 6pm he had got up and was feeling ok,no other symptoms since . Spoke to Gp this morning, he said its probably a tummy bug, good that's he's able to go back in today he's never heard of these iron tests and just see how he goes .There would be symptoms of tiredness and paleness if it was his iron .
So do I just leave it he has a varied ok diet not a lot of red meat but eggs cereal, tuna chicken ect He does a lot of sport , he had covid 1st week back, and that set him back on his sport so if he had tiredness from lack of iron I wouldn't of paid to much attention just putting it down to that and workload in year 10 .
