Checked with Cardioligist, after thorough checkups, he declared no cariac problem I have. He asked me to see a Neuro Sergeon.... any one can tell me what should I do/or use to overcome this incident in future..

Answer 1

Two possibilities! The first is that you have been laying awkwardly and have had a rush of oxygen to the brain. This is what causes the dizziness. Your head has to always be above your body to regulate the Bp to your brain. The second possibility is that, in a panic, you have jumped out of bed too fast and therefore you got dizzy. I would suggest that it's down to the way you have been laid as the numbness on the lips suggests a form of "pins and needles" and this is caused by reduced blood circulation / pressure. However, it will be wise to get checked out by a neurosurgeon in case it is caused by trapped and / or damaged nerves etc. If this is the first time, I wouldn't worry about it as anything that is discovered, if it is more medical than the way you sleep, it is always easier to treat from an early stage. Have the check-up and if nothing comes of it, try sleeping with an extra pillow to raise your head further.

Numb Lips And Dizziness

Answer 4

Dizziness (vertigo) must be established to be either subjective or objective,, before any conclusions can be reached. There are at least 2 reasons for this to occur. One indicates hydrostatic blood pressure, the other would indicate a neural involvement to have an effect on the "end organs of Golgi". located within the inner ear.

The numbness of the lips would indicate another neural problem. To involve the facial nerve. Suggesting there are other symptoms you have not presented here. A history would be beneficial to make some determination.. symptoms like frequent headaches, indigestion, tinitis, visual disturbances (bright lights painful). Much needing to be learned here before any real advice can be forthcoming.

Answer 5

You do need to be referred to Neurologist/Neurosurgeon. It's great that your symptoms are not heart related. Any numbness or tingling in your hands?? Any headaches?? Any changes in your vision?? Any recent injury ?? I ask this questions so that you may be aware of any other signs. The numbness may indicate a neurological problem, usually a pinched nerve. In the meantime, before changing your body positions, rise from a lying position to a sitting position, sit for a couple of minutes or so, then rise SLOWLY to a standing position. Drink plenty of fluids, especially water. Be sure to eat at least 6 small meals. This is the best way to keep your body well fueled. So, see the specialist. I hope that this helps.

Treats Root Cause of Dizziness?

Answer 7

I would get a second opinion on the cardiologist scene, fast. But also consider you may be allergic to something because of the numbness of the lips. Think about that, but go to the library and look at an up to date medical encylopedia for information relating to a heart attack for a woman. I couldn't tell from your name, sorry. But if you are a woman you need to look at the symptoms for women as they are not the same as men.
