My 12 yr old daughter has been unwell and off school for 9 days, she's feeling sick (not been sick) and when she stands her heart races and she feels dizzy/light headed.
GP has done an ECG whilst she was lying down and all looked fine. We are waiting on blood results.
Does anyone have any tips/advice on what this may be related to?
Thank you in advance for any help!

Of course, I'm not a doctor, but it could be a lot of things - e.g. ear problems can cause dizziness. If her heart is fine when she's lying down, I doubt that's a problem, just a symptom. One of my daughter's had similar symptoms recently, took nearly three weeks to get over, but was a tummy bug.
Hi,I'm not a Doctor either, but it could be something as simple as dehydration or a bug. Does she eat a varied diet? Anaemia and other nutritional deficiencies can cause similar symptoms.
Have you checked her pulse when sitting and standing to see what the difference is?
