My Story

(Canada)

I am 14 years old and I have low blood pressure. It makes me very dizzy and I often faint from it.

When I am being affected by this, I cannot concentrate, I am light-headed and I can't see very well because it seems like someone is drawing black dots on my eyes.



It is extremely hard to do anything in school when I have my bad days. I sometimes suffer from head aches too. I can't concentrate on my school work and it is easier to do stuff at home.
