Lightheaded Concerned.

I get lightheaded alot. Like I am in a dream state or feel like am going to pass out but never do. For me this is related to stress and anxiety. I have been to lots of doctors and through alot of tests and cannot find anything wrong. That why my lightheaded feeling are anxiety related. If you haven't been to a doctor, I would suggest you go at least once for some kind of check up or physical. Nobody here is a doctor, we are discussing symptoms when all other serious disorders have been ruled out. We cannot guarantee your that your symptoms are stress related without been seen by a doctor. I know it is expensive, but I am sure your health is worth the $200. Good luck and keep us updated.

Holy caca. Poor people. I have been to my doctor about 5 times in the last 2 months and it costs nothing in england. How awful to have to pay to see a doctor.........America is mad. The only industrialised nation on earth to not offer free medical care.

Yes I get lightheaded or a feeling like im on a boat.My doctor says its anxiety.Ive had mine for nearly 2 weeks.

I have had that when my blood pressure is either too high or too low, I get it when my sugar is too low, and the one I had the other day was from my inner ear--it was horrible so bad I almost vomited--it made me so dizzy.

But I am sure it could be a number of things, try and find a low cost clinic--
i know I ahve the same problem right now, no insurance and "not enough month at the end of the money" lol

Hi, I am new to the forum. And yes, lighthead, dizziness, and a strange felling in my head. I feb, I went to my doctor concerning this. Ran blood found nothing. It went away. Now it's back-more blood and yesterday I took a mri of my brain. I am wondering if I need more rest, stress, I don't know..But I feel that the tests aren't going to show anything. Just have to wait and see....Kymber

I have that to. I don't have it all the time though it comes and goes. I'm pretty sure it's stress. I also feel like i'm going to be sick with it. It makes me feel like i'm losing my mind. I have a hard time thinking clearly and the thoughts I do have aren't very good at all. All I can do when this happens is hide in my bedroom and cry and hope it goes away soon before I really act on my thoughts

Hi there! Check with welfare in your area or like she said, a low cost clinic. I have insurance and one of my meds cost that much, it could be a lot of things, anxiety, b/p inner ear, getting up too fast, like the poster said above, we are not drs but your health is important, drs are good at writing out prescriptions and they are generally not cheap.
Good luck! Keep us posted when you find out anything.

I've been scared too. I had a death in the family back in feb., my grandma who I used to take care of. She died in my arms and a couple of months later, I developed symptoms that led me to the er, diagnosing me with an anxiety/panic attack. I've gone through a lot, different doctors and what have you. I started feeling much better after every doctor told me it was stress related anxiety. About a month ago, I started getting lightheaded, not like when I was getting my anxiety attacks, but kinda like the room was spinning. I went to the doctor and told me I have a little fluid in both my ears. He gave me viracid and didn't help much. I feel better, sometimes have that feeling, but not as much. It's been about a week I have been having the numbing feeling around my cheek, forehead, lips, side of my nose and yesterday and today my tongue has a funny feeling, like it's going numb on and off. It's really scary. I had a ct scan of the brain about 4 months ago...Everything normal. Do I need an mri. I am so scared!!! I have some stress, and I don't want to start going to see the doctors again, they are gonna think i'm nuts. Has anyone had these feelings before. It feels like when you get a lidocaine shot at the dentist and it's wearing off, and also the aftermath of when someone smacks you in the face. You kinda have to move your face around. Someone please help, I don't want to have another attack after such a long time. Help!!!

Its so wierd you should mention this. As of late I have been getting light headed. Especially when I work out or do the treadmail. I have to sit down for like 5 mins in between sets. It never used to be like that. Hmmmm wierd how that is.

somebody plz try to help me

i cant live like this forever


p.s im 17 yearz old

When I was travelling in Italy, I was getting the best sleeps. A full deep sleep of about 12 hrs a day (yes i know, a waste of sight seeing time). But what I do write in my diary of these times is that I was very sleepy during the day. Even with all that sleep. I find that when I get a good 7 to 8 hours sleep, thats more than enough. Too much makes me tired during the day. Too less is just as bad.

More to the topic, my dizziness and lightheaded when I used to have it was I believe caused by muscles tensing up in my neck. No doc's could figure it out. A few months of physio helped. And time!
