Im glad that im not the only one who have lightheadedness

[@belltopcone]

I get it when I sit down to relax after walking .

[@khaos5085]

Sadly laying down helps I usually take a nap when I feel Lightheadedness.

[@gybx4094]

It can also be an intermittent condition which is very difficult to diagnose. All you can do is remain calm and document all the effects when it happens. It can be a very complex problem. I've had neuro problems happen during my life. It's very frightening.

[@ounso1228]

What’s you do to help it?

[@justinsabol1969]

I'm lightheadedness 24 /7 for 2yrs now

[@NewHara]

Yessss me tooooo I’m constantly light headed 🥴😩 I feel like I’m dying

[@user-nz6uq8kh2o]

@@NewHara how old are you guys, my blood pressure is good, I did blood work and a brain MRI, they both came back good, I’m only 17 and been constantly light headed for 5 months now, I literally have to lay down in bed all day it’s horrible and the worst thing to ever happen to me, got me depressed out of my mind

[@veganvocalist4782]

@@user-nz6uq8kh2o gosh I am starting to wonder if this is the effects of EMF and 5G coz I’m getting it regular now and very rarely have I had this in the past or am very rarely ill at all !!! My health is quite good in general and has been most of my life . Also many of these comments are from very young people too which is surprising 🤔

[@TASIAawful1]

@@veganvocalist4782 I had really bad dizziness a couple of weeks ago and although it went away after taking tablets from the doctor it is coming and going as light headedness it makes me feel very anxious I’m not a young person in my 50s however I power walk everyday and I’m physically very fit we have had some 5G powers put in but not near my home around a mile away

[@varantula7454]

I've been dizzy for 4 months

[@shyanneballantyne3549]

I could be laying down, sitting or standing and I will feel lightheaded, and it doesn't go away.. I wake up lightheaded and I will feel that way all day...

[@barnsey148]

[@morganbrantley9058]

I have the same thing going on 2yrs, did you ever figure it out ?

[@johnjp5883]

I'm exactly the same. I believe this is called PPPD (non spinning dizziness)

[@mamamiabenjamia]

i made a dr's appointment because i was getting light-headed and she totally brushed me off. didn't take it seriously at all. no blood tests, nothing. just said it would go away on its own. it's been months now that it's still happening on and off, so pretty sure it's more serious than that. i have a family history of heart disease, i'm overweight, i have high blood pressure, why would she not take this seriously?

[@mazzie9663]

@mamamiabenjamia Get another dr. Probably nothing, but find a dr who gives a shit. Drs today…are not the drs of yesterday.

[@The6Eternal6Dark6Lord]

When theres alot of people and I turn my head I feel lightheaded, is that anxiety? I work night shift as well and alot of time I feel sleepy

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I’ve just started to feel like this, especially in the afternoons, but I just had it happen in the morning. Mostly, it’s when I’m outside. I’m not dizzy, but just feel like I need food. I don’t think that’s the issue, though.

[@aprilhassell1747]

I feel this way too.

[@newoshanemrbryan1283]

When I am walking and hold down my head too long????

[@plum413]

I love the show

[@Gramnae7105]

Cardiologist just told me to lose weight and drink water and up salt intake🤷 Took me off BP meds. Had CT scan...nothing Carotid artery and leg ultrasounded...nothing When I stand up or bend over....it's not a dizziness it feels like my legs are bouncing...but there not. Did find an infection in my urine, on antibiotics. Started low carb to see if that would help reduce inflammation, if there was some. And I did notice that by doing low carb on 5th day symptoms stopped. Then I went back to eating poorly when I was in bed with UTI pain. Trying the no sugar or processed foods method again, to see if that helps+ back on allergy medication 🙏

[@khalid6050ify]

I feel light headed ness rarely, when it is extreme cold out side -5 C and more. Few times I kept head low like bowing or kneeling in warm place to get flow of Oxygen.now Senior & get little headache after waking up and keeping head up on sofa clear this situation plus Tylenol. Few times with antihistamine tablet too.😳🙄

[@zukbbc1556]

If you get light headed from standing up it’s because you’re getting up to fast, more possible reasons is anxiety or a disease etc

[@CourierSixMojaveExpress]

When there is a sudden drop or increase in temperature I get light headed or dizzy. Or if I get allergies.

[@Tinyteacher1111]

I was wondering if it’s allergies, because I usually get it outside.

[@charleslipscomb7839]

Mines was when I woke up when I had numerous of nightmares

[@evanp9146]

I get random attacks of lightheadedness while laying down, standing, sitting.. i have suffered migraines all my life, but they've been constant since 2015. The lightheadedness is a very unpleasant, scary sensation. It comes on suddenly, and is very intense. The muslces in my neck are extremely tight, and very painful. I've seen a neurologist, and have had MRI's perfromed, but nothing has shown up. The neurologist suspected Occipital Neuralgia, but isn't sure. I hate this feeling.

[@1truedavid125]

I’m 14 and I think I get the same thing like I get so lighthead it makes me sometimes feel I might also throw up and it’s happening a lot now to me probably cuz I sit down the whole day and play video games or watch tv but today I took a shower and like got lightheaded and almost couldn’t breath so I opened the shower door to breath and it kinda helped and I closed it to take a shower again and same thing again and had to get out of the shower and lay on the floor and I felt like I wanted to throw up at this time and slowly got kinda better maybe cuz the fresh air or something

[@markernst2129]

I am having near blackout or dizziness episodes for a "couple seconds", but this only has occured once (1) monthly between 11am and 11:45am while seated doing sedentary work! This has happend "one time" this past Oct, Nov, Dec and now this past Monday 9th January. My primary care MD recently sent me to get lab work, an ECG and CAT head scan. No issues or abnormalites present. Now since this past Monday's episode, I am suppose to go get a mobile heart monitor to wear. I think this simply could be due to low blood sugar since I have been "lowering" sugar and carbs in my diet recently or some other diet related cause, such as low sodium. Once a month dizzy spell is weird and glad its not daily or worse.

[@anthonym3351]

Have the symptoms cleared in recent months?

[@markernst2129]

update> I wore a heart monitor for 30 days in March. The Dr's impression indicated limited SVT if not "asymptomatic" and no treatment necessary. The monitor chart only indicated one 7 second episode on 3/28/23 which I had noted also because I "nearly blacked out". Coming forward I continue to have a "near blackout" episide about every 30 days and the ocassional minor and brief dizziness. I must only have a very weak SVT response for now. If it worsens I am following up with my Dr. Thanks@@anthonym3351

[@moonman5880]

I often get lightheaded when I'm trying to perform basic tasks that involves a good amount of thought or memory. It has started to greatly affect my memory and is making it default to enjoy things that I've previously enjoyed. I know that I have been depressed for several years now, but I don't know if that is the underlying cause.
