My six year old son is complaining of dizziness when waking up....last month he had nosebleeds during the night almost every night for a week, could he be anemic? Also in October he had an accident where he was knocked unconscious is it possible these things are related?
Hi, If your son suffered a traumatic brain injury (and that is certainly what it sounds like with him being knocked out) then, the dizziness is more likely than not due to the aftermath of that blow to the head.  He could be suffering from what we refer to as a postconcussive syn Chat Doctor.  I don't know that the nosebleeds can necessarily be tied together with the TBI but certainly, if he has PROFUSE nosebleeds, and he is anemic as a result of the blood loss then, that can also be an explanation.  He needs to get blood work which can easily detect the presence of anemia or not and if he's not been seen by a TBI specialist or at least a pediatric neurologist for the TBI you should take him to one for evaluation and interim review of his case. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
