Answer 1

Go back to the doctors and get tested for both low blood sugar and anemia. Either of these conditions can cause lightheadedness and fainting. You should also have your blood pressure taken. Are you getting enough rest, this can affect your health. Are you eating regular meals? You could be a bit undernourished and/or dehydrated. Make sure you are drinking enough water, and not just drinking soda all the time. Too much soda can also affect you blood sugar levels. Please continue to get yourself checked, and go to another doctor and another until you find someone to help you. I don't want to scare you but one of my friends had similar problems when she was a teenager and the doctors couldn't figure it out, told her it was all in her head basically. She did not get it taken care of and get properly diagnosed until she was in her thirties and had several seizures before her husband demanded that she get help after she had a car accident. She had a mild form of epilepsy, which could be managed with medication; and could have been fine for decades; it the doctors had really kept testing her and looking for chemical differences. Please tell your parents to keep asking the doctors until you get an answer. Do not let yourself not feel well, life is too short, and this should be a great time for you. Best of luck and I'll say a prayer for you.
