Thank you for your replies. I took her to the doctors, they did blood work and will do a CT Scan in a few days. One doctor told me that she needs more salt in her diet to help with the blood flow. We are working on that and having her get up slowly. Hopefully this will all help. I asked him about the stuttering and headaches and I guess if there is any problems it will show up in the CT scan? Can you still have something going on that is serious or even in the genes regarding the stuttering?
