Lightheaded when sitting at computer, not moving

Hope you’re feeling good!!! I’ve had this for years and it’s related to anxiety, tension, holding your breathe and sometimes posture or dehydration. Primarily though, it’s a harmless symptom of anxiety in that you’re breathing is shallow, your back and neck are often a bit tense and it’s simply a quick wave of a harmless symptom that feels like a dizzy spell. Often times it’s when you’ve been starring intensely at one spot for too long and you’re body isn’t used to it. Again, if you can relax your body, drink water, and keep your breathing nice and relaxed, it’ll go away. But there most important thing to remember it’s its harmless so don’t let it scare you and add more tension and fear to it, because that’ll add more of a chance if it becoming a cycle and reoccurring issue. The best way to fix it is to not worry about it, and try very hard to stay relaxed and healthy all throughout the day and night. It’s basiclalt just a harmless symptom of anxiety though, and of course this is after you’ve been cleared for anything more serious!!!!

HI I have been going through this for about 4 years and I am desperate to make it stop, I would give a years Salary to make it stop.

I just started getting the same thing, and I agree with chiro treatment, I suffer from neck and back injury and never thought of the flow.. I will seek chiro treatment. You should as well. the feeling we are experiencing is very scary and uneasy. I hope you find your reason. I also think anxiety plays a role as well.

I have had this for 3 years, had everything checked, brain scan, ears colesterol the lot. Found out it was my eyes, the right eye was much worse than the left, I now have blue tints, dizziness gone.

Dear,

I feel exactly the same. It all started when I was at work and had the history of working over hours on my laptop. I suddenly felt a kind of solution going to my head and exploding there. That moment the dizziness, lightheadedness nausea started. I have seen almost all the specialists including Neurologist, Psychiatrist, Ophthalmologist, ENT, Orthopedics.

I have undergone all the blood test, CT scan, MRI brain, Doppler study etc. Nothing figured out. All the tests are normal.

Unable to understand what needs to be done. Any advises please ?

I know that this topic was posted a year ago, but anyone has an idea what the cause.

I feel weird dizziness when i'm at work at  my computer.  I sometimes have a  weird feeling in my head when i"m sitting down.  At time i have neck pain.  I done several test: blood test, heart monitor , even when to an osteopathic  , could not find anything .  

Anyone have any idea? 

I have been feeling the same way for years, the weird feeling, dizziness, off balanced feeling comes and goes. I also have work long hours at the computer. Had a lot of testing, all good results. I have noticed neck and back pain, body & head fuzzy sensations. I really have come to a conclusion that it is the computers, phones and laptop that is causing these problems. It is causing, vision problems, back, neck and head. Praying for healing.

sometimes the weird feeling in my head happens when I not at the computer, I would be just sitting or doing housework.. did so many test. all the specialist doesn't have any idea what it is. hopefully someone out there know what the problem is

I also am suffering from this condition. I found a medical report that appears to describe what we are feeling. They describe it as Transient sensations of impending loss of consciousness: the "blip" syndrome.

Hi,
I literally had the same issues and eventually found the problem which took over 6 months of trying everything in the book. Not sure about you, but I spend a lot of time sitting and working on my laptop. While good posture helps it gets a lot more complicated than that. The perineum and psoas are two muscles that sit in between the legs and lower abdomen. When we sit alot of pressure is place on the back to support our body weight. Over time these muscles get tense and the lower back begins to pull on the psoas and perineum. Eventually overt time reduction of blood flow causes these muscle to dehydrate and calcify thus reducing their activity slowly over time. Once this happens, veins are less effective in pumping blood to the heart since they rely on muscle activity for proper flow. To make matters worst, arteries become constricted due to calcified and dehydrated muscle facia. This combination could definitely be "source" seeing as you begin to feel better once you stand and walk around. Another issue is that the back muscles will not loosen up unless the muscles in the back of you head and neck are tense due to improper posture. To go along with this puzzle, tight mandibles and surrounding eye muscles due to straining at the computer are also connected like a tract that curves along the back of your neck and head. Lol all of this could be pieced together with research papers found on pubmed, but this is the conclusion I came to after finally resolving my issue. I would start from the top with good posture and breathing technique when sitting, but unless you release those muscles via stretching or seeing a chiropractor, your problems will get worse regardless of anything you do. Workouts targeting these muscles help, but if you don't stretch them, the immune cells repairing your tissue will stick due to the muscles already being calcified. Also if you look down and start to feel lightheaded, then it is possible that tightness in your upper throat/ lower tongue could be restricting proper blood flow directly to the brain. Hope this helps!

research vagus nerve

If I sit looking down at a laptop pc sometimes I feel like I am going to pass out, but when I raise my head and breathe a bit, it goes away. Seems to be an effect of pinching off blood supply or nerves to the head with severe downward head angle. It only happens when I use a laptop on my lap. So I put it on a table and elevate the laptop a bit, keep my chin up and don't have the problem. I hope this is helpful.
