Question 9

sudden head rush feeling like a dizzy spell lasting a couple of seconds . should i worry ? just feel a little lightheaded now

Accepted Answer

Seconds? how long?: have you been having these symptoms?- it sounds like positional vertigo, especially if only lasting seconds and is related to movement ( standing up, bending over, sudden position changes; however, I do suggest a physical exam.

Question 10

my wife has been having dizzy (she keeps saying a head rush) symptoms. she just had a blood test (#2) and her nrbc came back high (55) not 5.5 or .55 but 55. she looks and feels fine. is this a problem?

Accepted Answer

: Your statement is conflict. Your wife does not look or feel fine if she has had dizziness. I assume NRbc is nucleated red blood count. Nucleated RBC of 55 is quite abnormal so she definitely needs to be evaluated by a hematologist. I wonder if anything else abnormal in her complete blood count (CBC) besides the high RNBC. Good luck to your wife.
