What provokes my constant constant lightheadedness?

Have you seen a Ear, Nose and Throat specialist? I'm having this issue now but only for the last 3 days...so bad I cannot walk much less attampt to drive. I went to see my dr on Thusday, was incredibly dizzy. Ended up having a stroke in her office. Am in the hospital now for the stroke....but am still dizzy. I will ask to see a ENT while in here. Do get this looked into...be aggressive and good luck. Could very a sign of something much worst.

Arashb I have done all the same things to weed out problems. I think it is hypoglycemia for me along with anxiety induced vertigo. It is called juvenile vertigo I think. Also it could be stress induced. I have thought for a while that my right ear seems to be the cause but the ENT says nothing is wrong. The other aspect could be whats called a silent migraine. You get aura and vision issues and unbalanced feeling without the pain of a migraine. I bought Butterbur with feverfew in it and I think it helps but i have not used it for more than two days in a row and you are supposed to take it consistently for a couple months for full effect. Butterbur is for migraines and is effective for allergies. I am still at a loss though for what is the true cause. I honestly think it is stress induced to a certain extent. 34yr old male with symptoms lasting 3 years now.

Dont give up. We are here for you to talk. I am basically houseridden myself. Keep fighting.

Hi there, i realise that this thread is a bit old but i am experiencing very similar symptoms and have been for the past 6 months. I have had every medical test under the sun and all the doctor say there is nothing wrong with me. I am dizzy all the time, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite and extremely fatigued. Can all these symptoms be related to anxiety/depression? Please help!

Been very, very lightheaded for about four months. Have to hold on to walk, also, my legs feel like jello too. Am under docs care, he thinks it may be thyroid. Also have sinus troubles. I hate this. Very low in B12 and vitamin D. All my tests were normal.

I'm a 25-year-old female. I have been experiecing almost daily lightheadedness for several months now. I have anxiety (managed by CBT therapy) and it's possible they could be related, but I'm really not sure. It seems to be worse when I'm in a hot/uncirculated room, hungry, tired, and after eating a big meal. I've never actually fainted but there are times when I have to lean against something or lie down until it passes. Getting fresh air helps too. 

I want to get rid of it and I'm not sure how. Haven't called the doctor yet but I'm not sure if there's anything she can do for me. I take iron and vitamin D. I drink water, eat fairly healthy, and usually get plenty of rest and moderate exercise. I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one who's exeriencing this. For a long time I thought it was just 'in my head.'

If anyone as any advice it would be appreciated.

I have been going through tthe same thing for over 10 years and have been told ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, and its all in my head... After passing out and trying numerous antianxiety meds, I went to a doc in a very small town that diagnosed me with POTS.  Look it up... Makes a lot of sense and explains why all the labs are always normal and why the meds never helped... Good luck y'all!

Hi there, did you resolve this issue? my doc thinks mine is from a neck issue. And to go swimming with breast stroke only for 1 month and see if it s better. It sucks I know,. Being dizzy all the time and panicking about it.

Hi there,

I have been lightheaded for 3 years now. On and off. More on than off. I had only lightheaded, tiredness and headaches as symptoms. By far, the worst was the CONSTANT lightheadedness and off feeling. A lot of suffering! Now, i may have realised that frequent urination could be linked to this. A UTI infection of some sort. I did notice my lightheadedness went away after i had taken anti bios for a different reason than UTI. I hope this post helps people out there who have experienced the same debilitating issues.

Could,be a uti causing the same symptoms if you urinate frequently etc

I am a 33 yr old female with a doctorate and have been constantly lightheaded for months.  My symptoms last all day/every day and include feeling faint, tremors/skakiness, shortness of breath, and fluttering heartbeats (PVCs). I also have an elevated body temperature at times, around 99.5 degrees.  I started not feeling "well" after a dental cleaning over a year ago and my symptoms have gotten progressively worse.  Endocarditis has been ruled out.  I have had brain MRIs, CT scans, and hundreds of vials of blood drawn.  Blood work shows I have an elevated IGE level and borderline elevated ANA, which seems to be of little significance.  I have seen neurologists, cardiologists, rhematologists, ENTs, infectious disease, hematologists and no one can seem to figure out what is going on.  Some doctors suggested I have POTS syndrome since my blood pressure tends to run somewhat low (100/600); however, I have had low BP my entire life life and was never symptomatic so I am not convinced this is my problem. Even if I do have POTS there almost always is an underlying cause such as an infection or neurological disorder etc.  This is so frustrating!  I have no quality of life and have been unable to work. 

Hi. You said your lightheadedness and dizzyness went away. Bit as you were a guest on the forum when you wrote that o cannot.fond what your initial post was. What happened to start it and what we're your exact symptoms. Thanks so much in advance.

This is c**p, if you were truly lightheaded you wouldn't be calling it an annoyance, it's a disabling symptom that can cost you everything. FOH

This is weird, I have the same thing going. Permanent light headedness. I'm currently seeing an osteopath because I've been told it might be from y neck but no joy yet. 14 months now.

This has been happening to me non stop since two days ago. I'm taking my medicine and drink water and juice and have bad dreams. No alcohol yester, 4th of July & yet is persists. WTH?
