Question 5

dizziness lightheadedness faintness pulsating head pressure ringing ears for 5 months. symptoms come n go no triggers. ct scan w out contrast clear.

Accepted Answer

Wrong test: For these symptoms you need a neurologist evaluation, and likely an MRI will be ordered.  A ct of the brain, even with contrast, is not adequate.  Start with the neurologist.

Question 6

dizziness, numbness in the face, faintness, nausea, shortness of breath.

Accepted Answer

GAD: May be signs of generalized anxiety disorder (i.E panic attacks). A neurological and cardiovascular exam may help excluding other organic causes.

Question 7

this sunday i experienced a feeling of faintness, excessive sweating, tingling in my face all over and nausea. what could cause these symptoms. ?

Accepted Answer

Many things: These could be cardiac related as the most serious cause. You should see your doctor.

Question 8

hi, my pulse is very weak. i've been suffering lately from orthostatic tachycardia and faintness and had heart tests done but the very weak pulse is new with more frequent chest and jaw discomfort.

Accepted Answer

Too compicated: This is not an issue to be addressed on the internet.  You need a good cardiologist or an internist with good cardiovascular knowledge to see and manage you aggressively.  Could not even begin to answer your question (if i knew what it was) without full records, exam and testing.

Question 9

duodenal ulcer and stricture. abdo pain that goes to left chest  and back.nausea. anemia. faintness.sweating. runny nose when eating?

Accepted Answer

Runny nose: I will answer the runny nose part, that has no relation to the other symptoms. Runny nose after eating is called vasomotor rhinitis and can be treated with an antihistamine or anticholinergic nasal spray. Oral antihistamines do not affect it. Ask your doctor for a prescription instead of walking around with tissues all the time.

Question 10

what to do when am feeling light headed and feeling faint?

Accepted Answer

Sit down: ; put your head between your legs if you can- if this is happening frequently see your pcp.
