Wondering if there is any cure to me feeling dizzy all the time.  I have days when I am fine and then suddenly I feel dizzy for the next few days after...  I have sleeping issues too so wondering if there is something that can be done?  Can certain types of medication make you feel like this?

    Hi orange12933, what medication are you on?  Beta blockers can make you feel dizzy.

    Have you looked at the side effects of any medication that you take?

    On the contraceptive pill, take nurofen quite a lot.  Lately can't stop sleeping and don't want to get out of bed.

    If this has been going on for some time, you should probably go and see your GP or your Practice Nurse.   Low blood pressure can make you feel dizzy.

    What are the causes for low blood pressure?  Had this for a few years now.  Thought it was normal?

    I think that you should see your doctor to get a some bloods done to check for any abnormalities also a nerve tests won't go a miss, something is not right.

    But if you are feeling tired and dizzy alot then the best person for your GP to do is to refer you to a Neuromuscular specialist.

    I've had my eyes tested recently and there was nothing wrong with them.  I am only asking because sometimes when I am driving I feel nauseous when I am behind the wheel and worry I might have a dizzy spell and perhaps faint.  I get headaches a lot and wonder if there is psychology tied up in this?

      I would recommend that you don't drive until you get this medical issue sorted, not only that and as you rightly said that you would not want to black out whilst driving.

      Have you given NHS Direct a call as they give advice and suggestions.
