Question 2

should i worry about dizziness when i wake up and get up in the night?

Accepted Answer

Maybe reversible: Would ponder that you are dehydrated, and dizziness is due to postural blood pressure drop.  Other causes could be included.  Perhaps start with increasing your liquid intake.  Medications can also cause this.  If faintness is associated, contact your physician.  Might discuss this more fully here at HT with one of our Concierge physicians.

Question 5

hi dr
i'm having a problem here, i have been feeling dizzy since yesterday, this continues even when i'm laying down.

should i worry?

Accepted Answer

Depends on type: If your dizziness feels like you or the room is spinning, that could be an inner ear problem which may only last 1-3 days, but if more of a fainting feeling that could be dehydration/low blood count/stroke/heart issue so would be best to call Dr for advice on evaluation. Knowing your blood pressure &amp; pulse rate is helpful. Do NOT drive yourself to Dr /ER when dizzy! Have family or friend take you

Question 6

2 days in a row now that i had a second feeling dizzy. i feel lucky that k was seated on both occasions. anything i should worry about?

Accepted Answer

Dizziness : Dizziness when sitting upright or going from sitting to standing is likely from a loss of blood pressure or circulation.  This can be from dehydration,  moderate to severe anemia, and several other things. Inner ear vertigo typically comes from changing head positions    You should see a doctor in person

Question 7

i now i have anxity it's geting to the point that it is bothering me i always feel that something is wrong with me i worry all the time and feel dizzy?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety ; dizziness: Having anxiety and dizziness together usually indicates hyperventilation which is rapid breathing. Anxiety typically involves an increase in one's breathing rate. When your breathing rate reaches a high enough rate, dizziness is a typical symptom. The dizziness then can cause more anxiety and a viscious cycle takes place. Slowing one's breathing can reduce the dizzness and help reduce anxiety.

Question 8

is dizziness while on blood presure meds something to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Consult with DR: Please let your doctor know about this. Sometimes lightheadedness may occur if your blood pressure is dropping too low.

Question 9

i was eating supper and i decided to drink a can of pop and now i feel dizzy why is that? it worries me

Accepted Answer

Hypoglycemia: The sugar in the pop may have triggered a spike in insulin release causing a drop in blood sugar. It will pass. Try eating some peanut butter on crackers. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
