my 4 yr old son has been experiencing this for 5 months now, usually one bout a month. until this month where he has had 3 episodes.
he complains of feeling dizzy, headcahe, goes pale, vomits x3, and sleeps. he wakes from sleep after about 1 hour, crying with pain, then falls asleep again, after pain medication. he willl then sleep for 16 hours or so.
anybody similar? we have a referral to a paed consultant in april.

Migraines?

DD had episodes like that from a very young age that were put down to migraines in the end.

yes, i think so too. but why would a 4r old get migranes. theres no family history?

i would go back to gp and ask him/her to bring appt forward. esp as he wakes from sleep in pain, and is vomiting. it could well be migraines but get him seen sooner rather than later.

Yeap sounds like migraines, I've had them from primary school and always vomit
