My 14 year old daughter has been having episodes of feeling confused, mild dizziness and disassociation (like she's living in a dream). They last about a week and have occurred every month to the date. This last episode is the 3rd and started on the 4th Dec.
Whilst she's having these episodes she has random episodes of vomiting along with poor appetite, she sleeps badly, she's very tearfully, can't concentrate in school and gets confused easily. She doesn't appear to be worried about anything and in between these episodes she's her usual cheerful, happy self.
She's had an ECG which was fine, urine test, bloods test that showed slight anemia (has started on iron supplements). I recently spoke to the GP again who queried if it was due to her menstrual cycle, these episodes come on between her periods. GP also mentioned a hormone imbalance and suggested magnesium supplements, which acts as a hormone balancer. The GP thought the episodes where very symptomatic of migraines which can occur with no actual headaches. GP is referring her to pediatrics.
I'm at my wits end. Has anyone had or heard of similar symptoms or had children who have gone through the same experience? Please help.🙏🙏
