Exam needed: Lightheadedness can be caused by various disorders like low or high blood pressure,anemia, abnormal heart rhythm or other cardiac pathology,etc. A physician will take your history and system review,perform a physical examination and order appropriate tests in order to make a diagnosis.

Accepted Answer

Pressure increase: Your symptoms suggest increase in the pressure in your head which then, puts pressure on the optic nerves, the eyes, &amp; well, everything. Increased pressure in the head occurs when pressure in the abdomen increases. This commonly happens when straining to have a BM. Lying on the  abdomen is likely causing pressure increases in the head. Try your back. Questions? www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi

Doctor can examine: If one has very uncomfortable tummy pain, and is normally in good health, the possibilities include: constipation (crampy) (is common), stomach flu (is common), appendicitis (usually R lower abdomen), diverticulitis, kidney stone (very painful), abdominal tumor, etc... Most people with "moderate pain," more than mild pain, may need a doctor's evaluation to be sure it is not something serious.

Question 10

i been feeling discomfort  on the top left side of my stomach  no pain just discomfort and  pressure  what does that mean ?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Stomach pain can feel like other sensations in the upper abdomen sometimes. A patient who suspects that certain pains are related to stomach acid / reflux / ulcers can actually try taking a good-sized dose of maalox or mylanta to see what happens. If the pains or sensations go away each time, that suggests the pains are due to acidity. A doctor can evaluate to see what might be going on inside.
