Q Hello dr. I have a younger sister age 21year weight 42kg. Some day before when she was in a marriage ceremony she suddenly fall down that time her bp went down below 70, than after we consult to a physician and he told us that she fall due to weakness and he admit her and give infusion of dns and rl and amino acid supplement and she got well. After few days same problem came and she fall down for a minute only and stand up within minute but she did not get any prior information like unconsciousness, head rounding, sweating etc. And same thing also happen yesterday for a minute only. Can you suggest me what is the problem behind this. She has normal blood report like hb 11, platlete count 1.85 etc.
Hello, Your concern for sister is obvious. Considering age of your sister, it seems she might be underweight, though the height also matters in this. Sudden fall like this is associated with weakness and may have relation with her diet. If she is not taking her nutritions and proteins in proper quantity, this may happen even if the blood reports are showing normal range of Hb or Platelets.Give her proper nutritions supply with dry fruits and fresh and warm meals. The cause in the first half of your query shows dehydration in her body. A lemonade with a pinch of salt and sugar is usefull for her. Tell her to takl water regualarly.Avoid coldrinks instead of water. The need of water can be fulfilled with water only. Kindly do not worry as this may be related with factors like stress or fatigue. If excess study or work load causes stress over her body and mind it may affect her nervous system. Meditataion and other breathing exercises may give a good solution for her problem. Anti oxidants in fresh fruits and vegetables are good for her. Avoid fast and junk food. Tell her to be on home made food only. Also lack of sleep causes this type of weakness. Proper sleeping habiits along with regualar exercise is a health regime for her. CT scans of brain may provide necessary diagnosis if all these measures are not working. Take care.
