I feel light headed all the time. When I move my head fast at all, i feel really dizzy. And at times, i just feel dizzy sitting down. I don't like this so much, what is it, and how can i fix it?

I do not have tinnitus, and the last time I checked my blood pressure was a month ago and it was around 120/70.
I guess the buzzing is just another way of saying lightheaded.
thanks guys

Hi- I'm an Audiologist.
"Dizziness" is a vague term that can describe many conditions. You also say your head is "buzzing" in the primary question, but don't mention hearing noise in your head or ears within the actual questions -- do you have that symptom, or were you using that term for your dizzy sensation as well?
If you have noise in your ear(s) or head (tinnitus), spinning dizziness (vertigo), pain or pressure sensation in the ear(s), or hearing loss, you may have an inner ear disorder. Prompt diagnosis is essential for effective treatment, so consult your physician for a referral (if necessary) and go to an Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT/Otolaryngologist) as soon as you can.
Lightheadedness and imbalance can be caused by medications, dehydration, high or low blood sugar, chemical/vitamin imbalance, migraine (with or without headache), and ocular/visual problems. Again, it is important to consult your physician and provide detailed description of your symptoms and medical history for an accurate diagnosis.
Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon!

If you are experiencing ringing in your ears, that condition has a name - tinnitus. The condition can be aggravated by overindulgence in alcohol, tobacco, aspirin, and caffeine, to name just four possible culprits. Some chronic sufferers can be helped with "white noise" gadgets that mask the ringing. If the condition is chronic even if you abstain from the above substances, consulting with a doctor and having a hearing test would be a good idea.
Prolonged dizziness could have many causes, some of them potentially serious. Again, a doctor consultation is warranted here.

When was the last time you had your blood pressure checked?
Sounds like U need to do that 1st.
Go see your doc ... or a nurse practitioner.
Once that's determined, they will give you a plan of action.
You also might have Vertigo ... this occurs when the centrol nervous system receives conficting messages from the inner ear, causing a sensation of lightheadedness or dizziness.
There are several causes for this, among them; high or low blood pressure, lack of oxygen to the brain, stress and/or nutritional deficiencies. You also might have an infection in your inner ear.
Go to your doc and have it checked out!

Yes, most definately! Most anti-depressants should be weaned off of over a period of a few weeks. Some can do worse than causing a buzz in your head with sudden withdrawal.

Quit doing whatever drugs you are doing, or get better ones.
