Hi, I am 16 years old I am 4 11 1/2 my family has had a history of cancer, for a while now I have been passing out (almost 1 every year) and recently this year ive been getting really sick and throwing up. Now recently I have been having a pain that I describe as my brain hurts normally by my temple area & the back of my head hurts its gotten to the point where ive cried, im scared of going to thr hospital please give me advice ?
Hello, Due to your being a minor it's not possible for me to offer you any specific recommendations for either diagnosing or treating your condition without parental/guardian permission.  However, passing out spontaneously for the past year absolutely deserves testing and in depth medical analysis.  I would recommend speaking with your parents and asking them to take you to a doctor for a good examination initial testing to understand why this is happening.  Probably not nearly as overwhelming and then, at least someone will have had a chance to speak with you and listen to your heart, lungs, etc. in order to recommend next steps. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care Chat Doctor.
