I started feeling lightheaded Tuesday and on a 1-10 scale it was about a 3. It was about the same on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, I would rate it as about a 6 or 7 and then it has been like a 3-4 since. I have no idea what to do. I have been lying down and drinking a lot of fluids. I have had a sinus infection before and I was very lightheaded from that, but the thing is, I am don't have a congested nose or any other symptoms. I am 16 years old. I don't really know what I should do.

sinus issues can effect your inner ear which controls your sense of balance. perhaps a call to your doctor to see if they recommend any medication for your situation...

It would be unusual at your age but you could have low blood pressure - can you get it checked? Also, your ears might be blocked as a result of the sinus infection, which would lead to your feeling giddy ... have you got any discomfort there? I'd have a word with a pharmacist, who ought to be able to advise you whether it's worth consulting a doctor. Good luck.

I would see a doctor.Lightheadedness can be caused by many things could be your sinus, or heart, or low blood pressure.I am sure it isn't serious but get checked if it continues.

The next time you experience this have one of your parents take you to the emergency room, or to have a CT scan done.
