I have recently been feeling lightheaded with tingling all over like I am going to pass out. I have to sit down right away when it happens. It doesn't happen though when I stand up so it's not that I got up too fast, but I'll be in the kitchen doing something mundane(getting a drink or something) when this happens. Then,after about 15 min. or so, I get a headache on the right side of my head above my temple. The only way to describe the feelings of lightheadedness is sort of like someone is presssing on the sides of my neck and I can't get any blood to my head. STRANGE, right?
Has anyone else felt like this or had these symptoms?
Thanks,

Yes, yes, I too get these symptoms(except the headache afterwards), while doing anything or nothing. It just comes on and I feel like I am going to pass out. It has completely taken over my life for the past 5 months now. I also get extremely weak and a nervous feeling. Take care and let me know if you find out anything. This has been a mystery for my Dr and I.

Thanks for your reply abbygirl. It is very baffling to me. I'll let you know if I find out anything. It helps to know you're not the only one with these symptoms. Sometimes you think your going crazy, but besides that:) it is scary too.

I also get these symptons - It actually happened today. My head is lightheaded and sort of fuzzy and at times I get this tingling feeling down the side of my head. This has happened before several times but not on a regular basis. It has left me feeling anxious and tired and I get nervous in case I am going to faint or something. It is scary. What age are you ladies? - I'm 46 and wonder is it age related!!

alwaysaworrier,
I am 52 and have a disabled hubby so can't afford to be sick. It is scary when it happens though. Let me know, please if you ever find out what it is, okay? This just started for me a few days ago. It even happens when I am sitting down at the 'puter doing nothing or watching tv. It is really, really strange.
Thank you for replying.
