    It can also be an intermittent condition which is very difficult to diagnose.
    All you can do is remain calm and document all the effects when it happens.
    It can be a very complex problem.
    I've had neuro problems happen during my life. It's very frightening.

    i made a dr's appointment because i was getting light-headed and she totally brushed me off. didn't take it seriously at all. no blood tests, nothing. just said it would go away on its own. it's been months now that it's still happening on and off, so pretty sure it's more serious than that. i have a family history of heart disease, i'm overweight, i have high blood pressure, why would she not take this seriously?

    I’ve just started to feel like this, especially in the afternoons, but I just had it happen in the morning. Mostly, it’s when I’m outside. I’m not dizzy, but just feel like I need food. I don’t think that’s the issue, though.

    Cardiologist just told me to lose weight and drink water and up salt intake🤷 Took me off BP meds.
    Had CT scan...nothing
    Carotid artery and leg ultrasounded...nothing
    When I stand up or bend over....it's not a dizziness it feels like my legs are bouncing...but there not.
    Did find an infection in my urine, on antibiotics.
    Started low carb to see if that would help reduce inflammation, if there was some.
    And I did notice that by doing low carb on 5th day symptoms stopped. Then I went back to eating poorly when I was in bed with UTI pain.
    Trying the no sugar or processed foods method again, to see if that helps+ back on allergy medication 🙏

    I get random attacks of lightheadedness while laying down, standing, sitting.. i have suffered migraines all my life, but they've been constant since 2015. The lightheadedness is a very unpleasant, scary sensation. It comes on suddenly, and is very intense.
    The muslces in my neck are extremely tight, and very painful. I've seen a neurologist, and have had MRI's perfromed, but nothing has shown up.
    The neurologist suspected Occipital Neuralgia, but isn't sure.
    I hate this feeling.

    I am having near blackout or dizziness episodes for a "couple seconds", but this only has occured once (1) monthly between 11am and 11:45am while seated doing sedentary work! This has happend "one time" this past Oct, Nov, Dec and now this past Monday 9th January. My primary care MD recently sent me to get lab work, an ECG and CAT head scan. No issues or abnormalites present. Now since this past Monday's episode, I am suppose to go get a mobile heart monitor to wear. I think this simply could be due to low blood sugar since I have been "lowering" sugar and carbs in my diet recently or some other diet related cause, such as low sodium. Once a month dizzy spell is weird and glad its not daily or worse.

      update> I wore a heart monitor for 30 days in March. The Dr's impression indicated limited SVT if not "asymptomatic" and no treatment necessary. The monitor chart only indicated one 7 second episode on 3/28/23 which I had noted also because I "nearly blacked out". Coming forward I continue to have a "near blackout" episide about every 30 days and the ocassional minor and brief dizziness. I must only have a very weak SVT response for now. If it worsens I am following up with my Dr.

    I often get lightheaded when I'm trying to perform basic tasks that involves a good amount of thought or memory. It has started to greatly affect my memory and is making it default to enjoy things that I've previously enjoyed.
    I know that I have been depressed for several years now, but I don't know if that is the underlying cause.
