During the video, it was discovered that difficult child's blood pressure is low much of the time. Although it is still in "normal" range, it is on the very low side and may be the cause of his wierd feelings and seeing spots.
The EEG came back clear so no seizure activity. This leaves us with the diagnosis of low blood pressure, migrane variant, and anxiety.
The neurologist wants to check out one more thing before settling on these diagnosis - cardiaology. difficult child sees a cardiologist on Friday to make sure there is no problems in that area that could be the cause of the low blood pressure and seeing spots.
For low blood pressure, he is to increase salt and water/gaterade in his diet. He was given a letter to ask the school to allow him to carry a water bottle or gaterade into the classrooms. I thought he was and he told me today that he was not.
It is so hard to keep enough liquids in him. He can not wait until he feels thirsty to drink something. The neurologist wants him to drink gaterade and water to keep migranes and headaches at bay also.
