A member asked:

I am experiencing heaviness and numbness in my head which causes tiredness and dizziness. i sometimes experience like getting blackout. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dizziness: The head symptoms you are describing are concerning. A sense of impending loss of consciousness is never normal, and workup should include some form of brain scan, and a thorough cardiovascular workup.
