My blood pressure has always been on the low normal side (98/54 one day); 106/72 another. I thought about the BP, but since the lightheadedness remains a constant, I don't think this is the reason for it - hence the not mentioning it. I "feel" that it's in my blood - sounds crazy, but true. As for the anemia, I have normal iron levels - just a bit low RBC. Hemocrit/Hemoglobin normal (low normal). Another concern is my Bun & Creatinine levels rose during this blood work. They've always been pretty constant & now they are higher than I've had, BUT AGAIN, STILL WITHIN THE NORMAL RANGES. I've read that 1) RBC - low can cause lightheadedness, but again, docs need to get to the underlying cause of the low RBC & since I do not "lose blood" on a monthly basis anymore, the chances of me being iron-deficient anemic are quite low.
2) Kidney disease can cause lightheadedness. I really am fearful of this because Mom was diabetic & ended up with renal failure due to that. I am NOT DIABET
