light headedness

Hi everyone,

me again.

How do you know when your teenager feeling a little light headed is something to get checked out or when it's just normal teenage thing that happens?

does anyone know of any additional signs that I should look out for? I dont want to be dragging him to get checked out all the time but equally, I worry.

Consult your GP, or talk to 111. That's what they are there for. It might not be serious, but it could be. To quote the old saying, 'Better safe than sorry'.

teenagers are young adults. I know legally they arent, but medically anyone 12 plus is treated the same as you.

See your gp.
