“How should i get help?”
I’ve been having these headaches and been dizzy it happens mainly after getting up or eating. But I also have tics I don’t know why or where they came from started at 12. I’ve gotten dizzy since I was a kid and would pass out sometimes.

Neurologist(Pediatric)
Good morning,
Dizziness and headaches can be due to something as mild as dehydration and not eating enough to something more serious. Generally we suggest drinking half of your body weight in ounces. it is unusual to have dizziness after eating. I suggest you see your pediatrician to evaluate for other causes.
Tics can start at any age. They generally go together with anxiety and focusing problems. But that does not necessarily have to be present. tics can be bothersome but they don't hurt the brain. if they are bothersome then seeing a neurologist would be helpful. We treat tics with either therapy called CBIT or medications. Please see your pediatrician for an evaluation.
