Need more history: If the lightheaded feeling comes when standing for a while or when getting up after sitting, it may help to increase salt in your diet, and focus on getting the muscles moving a little more. If it happens after turning your head or after bending over, it may be more related to an inner ear over over reaction. If are aware of yourself sighing, you may be hyperventilating, common with anxiety Dx.
