Q: should i be concerned?light headed, <3 start pounding, sat 2 take pulse, gets louder&harder.sudden stop of pulse.then resumes at normal, softer rate.

What you are: describing are called palpitations, and if they are causing you to be light headed, then you need to see a healthcare provider right away for help with diagnosis. Preferably in a setting where you can get an EKG, some blood work, monitoring of your heart, and access to Cardiology consultation, such as an Emergency room.

Q: i have two bumps that come and go in the back of my head. they feel like pressure and make my head hurt and feel light headed. what can it be?

Bumps on head: sound like recurreing sebaceous cysts. They can be reomved fairly easily in the office. See a healthcare provider to have this checked out. Good Luck

Question 1

i am anaemic and i take iron meds and folic acid

i have been feeling a little light headed for a good two days and the smell of food (eggs especially) has me feeling nausea and i feeling tired and sleepy most of the time?

Accepted Answer

I think you need: to be rechecked regarding your anemia...and possibly have a pregnancy test! Feeling tired and sleepy is a frequently reported sign of pregnancy and the nausea, with or without rotten eggs, can be, too. Make a visit to your doctor--you need to see what your current blood count is and have pregnancy ruled out ... or ruled in!!  Good wishes:)

Question 2

i take long , hot baths and showers and when i get out i feel weak and light headed and feel like im about to pass out ... why?

Accepted Answer

Vasodilation.: Hot water causes your temperature to rise and your peripheral blood vessels to dilate.  This may increase the volume of your circulatory system rather dramatically.  If your blood volume is a bit on the low side ( as may happen in the am ) you can drop your blood pressure enough to get light headed. Sometimes people can pass out in a hot shower.

Question 3

i was exercising and i had to stop , after i felt light headed and i decided to take a sit on the chair but woke up on the floor. can't remember anything. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Worried enough...: You should be worried enough to see your doctor. It could be something simple like over heating but you really need an exam and some blood tests to make sure that you are okay.

Question 4

it hard for me to breath and take deep breaths. and i feel light headed ?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: it is very hard to tell exactly what your problem is without more information. If you are wheezing then, you may be having an asthma attack. If you are simply breathing very shallowly then, you may be hyperventilating. This could be due to nervousness, anxiousness, or pain. If this just developed and you have chest pain associated with breathing then, you should go to an emergency room.

Question 5

how long does it take for the effects of clonazepam to leave the system. im referring to the light headed/dizziness feeling.

Accepted Answer

Variable: The half life is 6-12 hours, meaning that the effects should,be gone from a single dose by then, but th9s can be dependent on other factors such as other medications you take, status of liver, general health, and alcohol consumption.  Discuss this with the prescribing doctor.

Question 6

last week or two i have been getting light headed and dizzy feeling like i'm going to pass out. why is this? passed out once in sept-oct 2014

Accepted Answer

Several thots: Could be anemia, low blood pressure, dehydration, thyroid issues, and vast-vagal reaction to your pain.  Simple exam and a few blood tests should reveal cause.

Question 7

the last two nights tension in chest with painful flutters making me get light headed w/ pain. i had a complete hysterctomy at 22. im 24 now.any ideas?

Accepted Answer

That is not normal: That should have nothing to do with having a hysterectomy 2 yrs ago but you need your heart and lungs evaluated , please see your regular doc asap or go to the er.

Question 8

when i take a bath i get all light headed and dizzy?

Accepted Answer

Dizzy when bathing: Avoid really hot baths which may cause the skin blood vessels to dilate and cause less blood to go to the brain. Prolonged hot bath may also lead to more sweating and therefore dehydration.
