would low blood preasure cause photo sensitive headachesor could it be that my daughter has a low potasium?

Question

my daughter aged 14 was admited to hospital with photosensative headaches sore neck rash on her arm she had a lumber puncture to test for viral meningitus. they where unable to do the lumber sucsessfully but have now ruled it out. she also has low blood preasure 78/42 and a low blood potasium level which they said was usual of vomitting although she had nausea she has no vomiting. what could be the problem. she is still experiencing headaches?

Answer 1

my daughter who was 14 at the time also suffers similar symptoms. In addition to rashes, neck stiffness, and low blood pressure, at times her potassium level drops from normal to zero in the blink of an eye. Limbs become stiff then paralyzed and if not treated immediately, paralysis can reach the lungs and heart. My daughter has an idiopathic disease called hypokalemia. It is difficult to diagnose since it can come and go before you can see a doctor. As with you, my daughter was originally thought to lose potassium through vomiting which was not the case.

Answer 2

I am a diabetic, who was hypoglycemic before I switched. The number of various and seemingly unrelated symptoms I was experiencing as a hypoglycemic was alarming. As your daughter is in puberty, if she has hypoglycemia, the hormonal changes could be bringing on these symptoms. Have the doctor do a fasting blood insulin test. If that shows greater than 10, have the doctor give her a 6-hour glucose tolerance test. Also have the doctor rule out candida as a cause of the rash. Candida (yeast) affects those who have high insulin. Low potassium is common in diabetics, too.

Answer 3

You must visit the neurologist with your daughter, but hipotention may be cause for vasodilatation, and accular vasodilatation may cause photo sensivity, and you can see every thing laike white or blue glowing, but i think is not the low potasium levels , becouse it has the opositive effects, her clinic show a serius condition and you must take her to the doctor againg, but do not warry becouse it can be solved
