My ds is 12 years old and from the age of 3 he has suffered from frequent migranes at least 2 a month, they are generally worse in the summer. He suffers with the headache and sickness and needs to go to bed in a dark room and sleep for around 6-10 hours before they subside, calpol/paracetamol doesn't work. Last week he had 2 and was in bed the minute he got home from football. I've taken him to the gp a few times over the last few years ago who suggested getting his eyes tested and that he should grow out of them, eyes were fine when he went for an eye test at 7 years old and he hasn't grown out of them. He plays alot of football for 2 teams throughout the week and has also been complaining of his heart beating to fast and feels like its going to beat out of his chest.
I took him back to the gp last week as I don't feel its right as it is interfering with his every day life. We was 8 mins late due to being stuck in traffic so was left waiting for 50 mins and was then called in at which point the gp informed me that he only had 2 mins to spare as i was late and told me to get his eyes tested again as it is very rare for a child to be getting migranes and then prescribed an asthama pump for his palpatations without examining him??? I was disgusted because had I have been told by the receptionists that as i was late i would not get a proper consultation I would of then made another appointment also the fact he just prescribed an asthama pump without doing a peakflow or anything. He is having his eyes tested today and I am taking him back to the doctors on Thurs to see a different doctor to see if we can get any answers and because I feel its so unfair that he has to suffer so much with them. Just wanted to ask if anyone has had any similar experiences or know what might be causing them? Thanks
