I have a sick friend and the doctors don't know what it is. Anyone recognise these symptoms?

They thought it was a kidney infection, but its not. She throws up when she stands and the doctors told her she cant drive long distances. I think she gets dizzy.
Answer:
Here are some areas %26 things to look at -
although one cannot diagnose from a tiny bit of info written on the Internet!
You sure do not give much information.Neverthless, tell friend or her parents to make sure doctors check:
Gall Bladder, gallstones, or blocked bile ductears and balance for signs of Menieur's Diseasestomach for reflux or esophageal stricturebrain and spinal column for any pressure on balance/ nausea centerSee what i mean? Could be any of these systems or something else as simple as a virus.
Just make sure friend gets another opinion, esp University Hospital or Clinic, if she's not getting better.Best wishes.

How long has it been going on? Could be blood pressure or even anxiety related.

have them check the gall bladder,,gall stones can get stuck in the ducts and cause nausea and vomiting and dizziness,,vomiting causes dehydration so drink lots of water

My niece had these symptoms and they kept telling her it was all in her head, then finally found out it was her pancreas. She better see a different doctor that proffesionalizes in the intestines. She does take medication now and she is OK. O I hope your friend is too. I hope she is not low on water and potassium. Make her eat some fresh fruits and veggies. I hope she gets better.

Inside your ear, there are crystal-like (i think potassium) structures that controll your balance. Sometimes these crystalls can become disloged, and cause the the same symptoms you described. This condition is called Vertigo."Inner Ear Dizziness
Half of the inner ear is used for hearing (the cochlea) and the other half is used for balance (the labyrinth). If the labyrinth or the nerve that connects it to the brain is malfunctioning, dizziness can result. Many types of maladies occur in the inner ear to cause dizziness, including Meniere's disease, labyrithitis, positional vertigo, and vestibular neuritis and tumors of the inner ear nerves. These usually cause imbalance, vertigo (spinning), and nausea. It can also be accompanied by tinnitus and hearing loss, if the nearby cochlea is also affected."

Sounds like an inner-ear problem.
