dizziness

I drove 250 miles week gone monday,I was reasonable ,wed I was sicky not hungry,dizzy,and a headache. I didn't eat much all the week apart from fruit.Friday sat sun I was sicky with phlegm from nasal infection,which has cleared.On mon my wife got the doc. who prescribed stemitil,and renitidine.I was due to go for colonoscopy on wed and he advised me to go.I had it done and today I feel a bit better but with headache,and still a bit dizzy.

I have a slight pain at the back of my neck,and high pulse rate which isn't unusual.I take lercanidipine,and olmetec for high bp,which is high on the distolic.I am having an ecg 9/7/07.

I have asthma emphasema,and bronchitis,and have been taking prednisilone for 23 years.

[i:bb9476fff8]I've had dizziness for a few years now and i have had so many tests mri on my brain it was ok hearing tests blood tests ultra sounds and all of them have come back fine but i feel like i have some sort of pulse in my feet and the floor is beating i constantly feel like i am spining around the room like i am going to shoot up i always feel like this but sometimes it gets worse and the last couple of days it has got worse and maybe it is because i am thinking about it alot but i try and not think about it to much but it is hard not to when you feel like your going to fall over.

i work in a hairdressers and a few people have come in and said they feel dizzy too but have been told why and had tablets to make them feel better and i feel like i have something wrong with me and i dont know what reading what everyone else has put on the net makes me feel a little better to know i am not the only one.

But i really panic when i get really bad but normally when my mind is off it i kind of forget about it and am happy but when it comes back it really gets me down.

i dont get any sickness i sometimes get really bad headaches but they come and go i dont hear ringing in my hear just really bad dizziness do you have any idea what it could be?[/i:bb9476fff8]

i have now suffered with dizziness or swimming sensation that last about 30 seconds but worse when you panic once its happened. for over a year i have had mri scans blood test and they say its anxiety im not so sure it can happen when walking in a shop or standing still and when you walk its like you have sh*t yourself (appears to oher people) any one else with this?

When i sit down or after waking up in the morning most of the time i go really dizzy and sometimes collapse if i dnt hold on to something or sit back down

Hi Ben

U had ur blood pressure checked recently?

If not...might b an idea...

Hi Ben

Yes, as Skye rightly says it would be a good idea to get your blood pressure checked by your GP - dizzyness is usually a sign of a lowering of the BP when sitting or lying down.

Your GP also may want to take a blood test to establish that you are not anaemic (as this can also cause dizzyness) plus listen to your heart.

So organize a check up - nothing to worry about, I'm sure.

In the meantime, make sure you get up very slowly and try not to make any sudden movements.

Take care
