Question 1

this is napoleon vance, my mother maebrel vance is taking this drug lisinopril and is suffering from the side effects of dizziness, faintness, lighthe?

Accepted Answer

Low blood pressure: She is probably having low blood pressure from the medicine.  You need to monitor the BP in AM and  Bedtime and of low then the dose should be adjusted

Question 2

i am taking dhea - my skin recently has begun to emit a faint urine-like odor.  should i be concerned or is this one of the expected side-effects?

Accepted Answer

Stop it: Since dhea is a hormone precursor , it can have all sorts of effects, including oily skin; so stop it  and see if the odor improves.

Question 3

while i was on birth control pills, i lost my sex drive and did faint once. do any other birth control pills will have the same side effects?

Accepted Answer

Bcp: Not necessarily. Depends on type of hormones in the pill. Consult your ob/gyn.

Question 4

nausea and faintness when standing. chills. pain in side/back that is worse over last two days. don't have periods, and hpts are neg. when to see doc?

Accepted Answer

Faintness when stand: You should not delay being seen by a doctor. These symptoms may indicate a very serious underlying condition.

Question 5

what would cause sudden severe upper left side abdominal pain w/chest tightness, sob, & faintness found to be moderately relieved  by inhaler?

Accepted Answer

You're asthmatic?: presumably it could be many things.  This combination sounds serious (especially the SOB and faintness) so if it happens often or lasts long you should be evaluated for things like blood clots.  OTOH, if it has only happened once or is always very short lived it could be either mucus trapping, gas trapping (in the intestine) or "pleurisy" which just means pain coming from the lining of the lungs.

Question 6

i have continuous faintness, nausea and dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Meniere's disease: Do you feel like motion-sickness? It depends if your symptoms are associated with sudden head movements, it is possible you have benign vertigo or a kind of vestibular disorder in your inner ear.  If your symptoms last for more than several days, you are advised to talk to your doctor for further evaluation. Some anti-nausea medications are quite effective to control your symptoms.

Question 7

what causes faintness? not exercising enough?

Accepted Answer

Complex answer: If this has happened more than once you need to see your doctor to determine what is going on and the cause.

Question 8

what is the definition or description of: faintness?

Accepted Answer

Faintness: Faintness = near loss of consciousness.

Question 9

what to do if there's constant faintness, nausea and dizziness?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: You need further evaluation, at the very least blood tests.  Other imaging tests of blood flow to your brain might help.  Low blood pressure or another heart condition could be a concern.  Reactions to medicines or ingested foods might be the cause.

Question 10

what might cause faintness, numbness, pain, and lightheaded drowsy and really abnormal feeling only while laying?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Could be anxiety or medical problems. I suggest you see your family physician. Make sure you ask your family members if they have ever had anything like this. Also does this only happen when you are falling off to sleep or coming out of sleep. If so make note of this. Does your heart skip beats? Start taking your BP first sitting then standing am, noon, 6pn, hs with pulse and axial temp. Keep a log.
