My sister is 11 years old, and recently she has been feeling very ill and different. She has been getting headaches almost everyday, stomach aches, diarrhea, crying a lot, and she has this feeling where it feels like she can't get enough oxygen. She does not have a fever, and it is not the flu or a cold.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what this could be?
Hormones changing? a condition? a disease? anything?

Sounds like panic attack. The bigger question is why...is something wrong at school or at home. Is someone threatening her. Has she done something wrong and is afraid of getting caught...or did she get caught doing something wrong. Try to find out in confidence from her if any of these are the case. By the way , it does NOT sound like meningitis.

Make a dr. appt immediately. It could be as easy as life in general stressing her out which will require counseling and talking it out, or it could be serious and of a various medical nature.
Does your mom or dad know your concerns? If they won't listen ask a school counselor or your aunt's uncle's and grandparents. You need to have her diagnosed by a Dr. Be sure you go with her into the room so she doesn't make light of her symptoms. Make sure the doctor understands your concerns and your sisters symptoms and behavior changes.

Time to go the doctor. It could be anxiety. It also could be abuse. ask her is anyone has touched her. Again, please take her to the doctor.
