unfortunately it's impossible to say what could be causing these symptoms since several conditions could be the culprit. you should not ignore these symptoms however. you should take your daughter to her pediatrician as soon as possible. unexplained weight loss in an adolescent should never be ignored. you'd do well to take her to the doctor and have some tests run to find out what's causing this and the dizziness. all the best to you both! from personal experience- i would specifically ask the dr. to check her thyroid levels. i had those symptoms for years with no explanation until my 20's when i was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. another thing to consider is iron levels. if she is starting puberty her levels could be all over the place causing her to be light headed. also- one more thing- does she drink any diet drinks? aspartame causes dizziness and light-headedness for most of my family. i would write those down to specifically ask the dr. to check them <positive_smiley>
my 14 year old daughter is losing weight and getting dizzy and getting lightheaded. what could cause these symptoms?
