Accepted Answer

Dehydrated: Drink plenty of water, 2 liters more a day (8 glasses with 8 more ounces) and see if you do not feel better. Make sure you are eating enough calories to fuel your body through the day with a balanced diet as well. Eat more vegetables and fruits and maybe a multivitamin and see how much better you will feel. It will be amazing.   You are most likely just dehydrated. Good luck and feel better!

Sinuses: Allergies can lead to sinuses becoming congested which can cause headaches. That "clogged" sensation can feel like being lightheaded.

Question 4

sometimes i get dizzy due to asthma. it's been happening a lately since there's a lot of pollen this year. is this giving me brain damage from loss of oxygen?

Accepted Answer

: You should get e pulse oximeter, if you haven’t one already. If your pulse ox stays equal to or higher than 88%, then you do not need supplemental oxygen and you are not at risk for brain damage due to low oxygen levels. If you are experiencing shortness of breath due to your asthma, with or without a drop in your pulse ox, you should see a lung doctor to evaluate your current treatment. Good luck
