I've been having this lightheaded kinda feeling for the past month now, And it's starting to get to me sad

It only happens when I move my head, when I'm laying down it doesn't happen, I've no other symptoms, and the vertigo tablets what the Dr prescribed don't seem to ease it at all..

I've had a ct scan done as I asked the doctors to refer me, that came back normal .. Had blood tests done and they came back normal,

I'm only 21 and it's really making my feel crap anyone have any advice?

Thank you sad

    Do you have allergies?   If not, they can start happening at any time.....  I have chronic allergies and if I'm having a bad falir up or the pressure fronts keep changing, my head takes the brunt of it.   I feel light headed and clogged at the same time....  Try taking an OTC allergy pill, like Allegra or Claritin and see if that helps.

      Going to see an ENT specialist in an hour so will update you on what they say, just want it to go now sad

      No I don't have any allergies, it's making me feel so down, as I keep going to the doctors and they say 'but what's to worry about'

      It would be different if it was happening to them sad

      Good luck at the ENT!    I have to wait until the end of September to see one =/     I'm hoping all of my vertigo related issues will be gone by then so I won't have to!

    Unfortunately Imogen you seem to have what a lot of people ,including myself have if it's the first time you're had it ,it may go away and not come back the first time I had it ,it only lasted a month or so then I didn't have it for about 6 months so fingers crossed that's the case ,stay strong and positive try not to let it control your life.

      Been to the ENT and he said there's nothing wrong with my balance; nothing wrong with me inner ear.. so they have oput it down to stress and anxiety due to me having a baby 7 weeks ago,

      as I've had every other checks and they've all come back normal, but the lightheaded feeling doesn't seem to shift, suppose I should just keep myself busy, :-(

      How did you get it to go away?

      no tablets work for me.. sad

    I agree with STEPHEN, it'll go as quick as it came on and one morning you'll wake up and it'll be gone completely and nothing but a distant memory
