Help with diagnosis!!?!
Question: Help with diagnosis!!!?
I have a fifteen-year old cousin, Niko!. For the past two years he's had the following symptoms:
fatigue
high blood pressure
low energy
frequent fainting spells
Before this began, he was in good health and shape (5'8, 150 pounds), and was involved in sports!. It started in the beginning of his 8th grade year and has been gradually getting worse!. He's had about a jillion doctor appts and the only thing they've discovered is that the fainting spells are most likely some type of seizure!.
He's in his freshman year of high school, and he only goes to school about half of the time, and when he IS at school, he needs help going through the halls to and from class, can't stand in lines because he gets too tired, and spends the majority of time in the nurse's office!.
If any special doctors are out there can help, or if you recognize these symptoms, it would be great if you'd respond!!

Well if he has had a lot of drs appts then clearly they have ruled out all of the obvious!. This is a very long shot but I'm only going to mention it because my brother was diagnosed with it!. Mitochondrial myopathy!.!.!.when he was in high school he has seizures and they diagnosed epilepsy!. He is now in his late 40's and they think he was misdiagnosed the entire time!. He is chronically fatigued, has severe seizures and blood pressure is all over the place!. He physically can't do things at times!.
I am not saying this is a diagnosis for your brother!. I am just saying push, push and push harder!. Request specialists!.!.ask for a referral to a research hospital or center if you are not satisfied with the answers!. I only say that because my brother was diagnosed with Mitochondrial Myopathy 2 years ago, and his body is rapidly shutting down!. So make sure they look for the least obvious things!. Good luck!.!.my prayers are with your family!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
