My 15yr old son gets dizzy when he plays basketball. ruled out cardiac issues. just found out he needs glasses for distance. could this be cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dizzy: Yes. If he can't focus, the brain will not have proper visual cues to establish position or balance. Hopefully with proper correction, his imbalance will improve. Otherwise, see a neurologist or ENT for vestibular or cerebellar causes of vertigo.
