I have been feeling all of these same things. My husband thinks I am a hypochondriac!

Just out of curiosity -
Does anyone take antidepressants? I am on Effexor XR
What part of the country are you all from? I am in Southeast - TN
Any narcotic pain meds? I am on Lortab.

Trying to see if there are any specifics we all have in common.

I am an 18 year old female. For the past 3+ months i have been experiencing bouts of dizziness. It is very persistant and occurs most obviously when i go from laying down to sitting up, or from sitting to standing. I tend to black out for 2-3 seconds and feel like i could fall over. Only most recently has the dizziness been accompanied by nausea and shakiness. Fatigue is a serious problem joined in with this. I constantly feel as though i have no energy. i dont know what to do, but i cant tolerate this any longer. any ideas as to what the problem could be?

hi, the most common cause of dizziness frm sitting to standing is postural hypotension - aka low blood pressure. This tends to be most noticeable if you have been unwell recently or run down. Another cause is a middle ear infection causing an imbalance, however this would tend to happen at other times as well. If this is continuing it may be worth going to see your doctor and have a few checks carried out, hope this helps.

Hi there, I've had symptoms similar to those as well. I have no idea why. It started when I came back from Hong Kong 1 week ago with diarrhea and lots of gas. There was always a pain on my lower left abdomen, right below the breast. THe pain would ease up a bit when I let out gas. The doctor said it may have been because I wasn't use to new water, or perhaps I ate something dirty. 2 days ago the gas started to disappear as well as the diarrhea, but I'm always feeling tired - I've never needed more than 6 hours of sleep everyday, but it feels as if I'm always wanting to sleep for 10+ hours. I've had sharp pains on the left side of my head. I'm always feeling weak, a bit dizzy, and aches on random parts of my body. What's wrong with meeee? ><

I've been having some of the same symptoms and recently found out that it's my hormones cuasing it. Specifically, low estrogen. I was taking a birth control pill with a high progestin content, but I've been off of that for 5 weeks and getting better SLOWLY. Seeing an endocrinologist next week. Read It's my Ovaries, Stupid! by Dr. Elizabeth Vliet. It's appalling to see how many women have suffered because doctors RARELY look to a hormonal cause.

I'm 28, have been feeling these symptoms for years.. they go away - come back, mostly in the summer. I get lightheaded, from a couple of mins, to what feels like the whole day. Like a cloudiness feeling, to what G's are felt like when moving. I get nausea, in some cases. And on my really bad days, headaches, and shakes... -and have been feeling tired. Been to doctors, they can't figure it out either. And I feel like its all in my head because of this. Has anyone found out anything?
