For months on end i have now been feeling lightheaded, like in some sort of day dream state since feeling faint at work post a virus. I get various floaters in my eyes (lines/strings and blobs) which are very distracting, along with this i get sore/tired eyes and sensitivity to light. It does get worse on a computer, as i work as a Graphic Designer.

I get a constant tremor/body shake which i feel more so i lie flat and i can feel it in the back of my head and my hands shake quite a bit all the time. When i feel the most faint i sometimes go ice cold and my hands shake more.

I get head aches and head pressure and go light footed when i feel faint. I have noticed when having a shower i go really faint as if i will collapse, the floor moves!!

This has been a problem every day since last November and i feel the faintness is getting worse and worse. My fitness level is awful and i don't do hardly any exercise because i feel faint. I eat well and do not smoke or drink lots of alcohol.

I have had a MRI of my brain, lots of blood tests to check for anaemia, diabetes, kidney and liver problems and they have all come back clear. I have seen 3 specialists, one being a Neurologist and they can't find anything either. I have also taken Propranol other tablets.... NOTHING. One doctor put it down as anxiety which it is definitely not. I know something is wrong for me to feel this poorly even when i do not think about it. I have a happy life, work is good and a good family and friendship group. Please can someone help me, as i am getting really upset now and feeling worse!

    This sounds so like what I have. I have bppv which is managed most of the time but when I have episodes I feel the same way you do. Also I had a problem with my left eye and I had floaters and flashing lights and that makes the dizziness so much worse. You need to go to the eye doctor to have them look at your eye to make sure you don't have a torn retina because that will make you dizzy also. Have you seen an ENT yet to see if you have bppv?
