Lightheadedness
Posted: 07-01-05 06:38am

Hi,

a couple of weeks ago I was in class when I started feeling a little lightheaded, it would ease for awhile and then return a little later. However recently, it has become worse and I am feeling continually lightheaded. Also, when waking up in the morning, I feel a little stiff around the chest, however this goes away after about 10 minutes after getting out of bed. My appetite has also suffered and also I feel my sense of taste has deteriorated and my tongue is often slightly numb.

I also have been suffering from a bit of nausea, but I presume this is due to the lightheadedness.

Any suggestions or information as to what I could have?

Do you usually stand up very fast? That can be a blood pressure problem. Low blood pressure sometimes causes that. When your blood pressure drops too low... Sometimes... It can affect your sugar level... Making your chest tight.. And hard to breathe sometimes.. Good luck =)
