thank you for replying is the high cholesterol levels why u feel like ur woozy? and does it seem to last all day? do u feel anything else associated with the wooziness such as nausia? im not sure if ive had a cholesterol test the last one i recall was yrs ago so im definitely going to check into that im also going to see neurologist monday they seem to think maybe my weight is putting too much pressure on my brain i praye verything turns out ok.

You also might have an inner ear problem. This causes dizziness, nausea, etc. My husband had this problem, went to the doctor and they fixed him right up.
Good luck to you... :wave:

another thing, are you on any medications that could be making you feel this way? I was taking a certain medication for depression several years ago, I can't remember which one, and I remember especially as i was walking i would always feel like i was about to "tip over". I hope they find the answer soon to your problem! I bet you do too!
