Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Sounds like you need an urgent check up with your internist or endocrinologist. For now take your prescribed medications. If your symptoms are out of the ordinary for you, head to your closest urgent care center or er.

Question 3

the past couple of days i've been feeling confused, dizzy, light headed and weak and can barely think. my posture is terrible and my neck is unstable. could this poor posture be the cause?. should i try to correct it?

Accepted Answer

: Your symptoms could be caused by many things but most commonly they occur with dehydration, That you jump right to posture is telling since it has nothing to do with any acute issue and everything to do with self-image or what someone else has told you. To a doctor "unstable neck" is an emergency but you add it as a random afterthought. Ask about these issues separately or better yet, see a doctor

Question 4

pain in right side of neck and shoulder. dizziness and lightheaded feeling when turning head. some sensitivity to light, which causes me to feel nauseous.

Accepted Answer

Dizziness: Vertigo on turning your head is characteristic of an inner ear disorder for which meclizine is prescribed. Pain in neck and shoulder is often caused by a pinched nerve in the neck. I recommend consulting a neurologist.to evaluate both symptoms.

Question 5

dizzy feeling in the head when lying down. im even dizzy in my sleep. then feel dizzy in the morning and gets better as the day goes on.no vertigo or any spinning. not lightheaded but dizzy in head. achy neck. no other six. possible causes?

Accepted Answer

: "Dizziness" as described should be evaluated by an ENT or neurology physician.

Question 6

blood test neg. for diabetes, hypoglicemia, anemia or thyroid problems. healthy ekg. always lightheaded, dizzy and anxious. maybe dehydration?

Accepted Answer

To differentiate: your dizziness diagnosis it would be useful to know your blood pressure and pulse rate lying, sitting and standing. This could help to determine dehydration from other autonomic dysfunction issues or inner ear problems. Ask a health care professional to evaluate and treat you for these symptoms before you have a pass out spell and hurt yourself.

Question 7

from last one week i am feeling lightheadedness and dizziness. recently treated from health anxiety. due to house renovation no proper rest and intake is poor. playing badminton regularly. esr cbc, chest x ray, bp, thyroid and ecg all normal?

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor and discuss if you may be depressed. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated.  Wish you good health!

Question 8

can fibroid cysts and heavy periods cause dizziness, lightheadedness and loss of balance ekg, tilt table.thyroid, and stress test all good?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding, anemia: Fibroids, also called leiomyomas are benign uterine tumors (not cysts) that can cause pain and heavy bleeding with your periods. If they are causing very heavy periods, this can lead to anemia and the dizziness, lightheadedness, etc you described. They are easily diagnosed with an ultrasound. See your ob/gyn for this.

Question 9

can a bulging disc in neck cause lightheadedness and dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Cervical disc: It is unlikely that a bulging disc will cause your symptoms. It may cause muscle spasms of the neck muscles, which cause pain along with any nerve that is being pinched by the bulging disc. Pain can cause lightheadedness or even dizziness if it is severe. Please get evaluated by a physician.

Question 10

dizziness almost everyday lightheadedness feeling like fainting it's been 6yrs.head and neck mris, blood test, urinalysis were normal. what can it be?

Accepted Answer

EEG: Episodes of light hotheadedness are occasionally due to epilepsy and acephalgic migraine.  In both cases the EEG is often abnormal (H response with photic flash and abnormal response to hyperventilation with acephalgic migraine with aura) Other reasons for "fainting" include dysautonmia due to neuropathy) No sure why an MRI was performed with your history) Did you see a neurologist?
