Dizzy Spells?

Question

Lately I have been having dizzy spells. Mainly when I stand up. They seem to come and go. I noticed a few months ago that it was sorta bad but they seemed to go away for awhile. But now they are back. They are so bad that I almost fall over. I just get really light headed. What can case this? Should I see a doctor?

Answer 1

by all means see a doctor, right away, i think it has something to do with you blood pressure(no medical experience just personal experience) mine was high pressure and i know what you are experiencing, but i had severe head aches with mine, maybe yours is from low, but either way, you do need medical attention right away an not just guesses like mine, see your doctor as soon as possible, ok.have a safe day!

Answer 2

Before you try medication, please try this,
it could be benign positional vertigo.
Many people go un diagnosed with this condition. In simple terms, you have tubes in your ear that contain very small crystals sometimes for whatever reason they come out this is why you are dizzy.
The great news is that is easily curable.You can do this manuver at home on your bed. It is called the epiley manuver. It is kinda hard to explain on the computer how to do it, but I will try.
Lay on your back with your head off the bed.
Turn your head so your right ear is pointing down to the floor.
Remain that way for 2 min. even if it makes you dizzy.
then turn your head to the left so your left ear is pointing to the floor for 2 min.
Roll to your left onto your stomach WITHOUT LIFTING YOUR HEAD (very important) if you lift your head at anytime during this,you need to start over.
Your head should be looking straight dqwn at the floor, head lower than shoulders, for 2 min.
You are going to keep your chin to your chest, roll onto your right side bend your knees,legs off the bed and sit up slowley and lift head so that your looking straight forward.
You have to repeat the manuver going the opposite way (your left ear will be pointing dqwn)
Do the same thing but in the opposite direction.
The more you do the test the better it will get.
You cant lay flat for 3 days after the manuver.
Sleep at a 45 degree angle with pillows.
Let me know how you do, I know this will work for you.
I do this manuver at least twice a week at my work on patients and it really works.
IHope this helps!

i have a seizure disorder and often have dizzy spells like you do. it's important that you see a neurologist. they might be able to help you figure out what causes the dizzy spells. i was born with a birth defect that you can acquire at any age. it's called hydrocephalus. a neurosurgeon can help you pinpoint if it's hydrocephalus or not.
