I took Drew to the cardiologist for his fainting and the diagnosis is low blood pressure. He needs to stay hydrated and possibly ADD salt to his diet! And the doc taught him how to respond if he feels light headed -- immediately squat down which causes to blood in your legs to be forced up to your torso and brain. He used the technique already and it worked like a charm.
If it keeps happening, then we will need to call back and come up with another plan.
Doc said it is not all that uncommon at this age. It makes sense. With the rapid growth, how can the body regulate perfectly at all times!
