Q: Dizziness symptoms

These symptoms have been with me for sometime and it is really annoying especially when I am working and even going for a shopping. I gets dizzy when standing up and walking. I spent most of times in front of the computer so I am not sure will this affect my health.

I will give an in depth of my symptoms:

Dizzy :

I have this in some random days. I can feel the dizzy occurs mostly when I stand up from my chair or my bed upon waking up. When I go for a jog and while shopping i feel the worst. The only time I wont feel it is when im lying down on my bed or sitting. Public places with crowded people also increase my dizziness. There are moments i feel I am about to fall and faint but never did.

Tiredness :

Also inflict me on random days. No matter how long or how less I sleep I will get tiredness as if i have not enough rest. I never fell asleep though if I dont want to but I always gets tired and my eyes have the pressure in them.

Lack of concentration :

It is really hard for me especially when they are alot of things in my vision and i cannot concentrate on a thing. Sometimes when I drive it is hard for me to concentrate the road as well. And there are times i can forget the last thing I have said which really bothers me.

My daily life is involved mostly sitting on the computer monitor in a private room doing my stuff and driving home and to work. I sleep around 4 in the morning and woke up around 12pm in the afternoon. I only jog once in a week or 2.

I did try exercising by walking hill but then I have a serious dizziness after that and hardly can catch my breath. Sometimes when I am standing up i have the sensation im about to fall down and faint but never did. I am really of tired of this and decide to see a traditional chinese doctor which proven nothing serious. Next the symptoms occurs again and I went for a modern doctor which also proven negative.

Next the symptoms is still there and I went to checkup at a laboratory. I told them about my symptoms and diagnose with ECG as well as blood with Urine check. After getting the result it just indicate i didn't inject with Hepatitis A and nothing is wrong. I really don't know if this is a serious matter or a minor one. So far nothing is serious only that my symptoms never gone and it can be intense and minor sometimes.

Please someone tell of my symptoms and I try not to bother my parents and fiance about this anymore since I have 3 times giving them the troubles to worry about me. Thanks a lot readers

Bump for the day.

By the way, when i lie down or sitting i feel the dizzy is not as bad as standing up. While standing up i can even hardly coordinate my movement.

This could be related to blood pressure. Have your doctor check you for orthostatic hypotension. This is a condition were the blood pressure drops upon change in position.
