Hello All --

I've been having problems for about a year and a couple months now, and to be honest, they're downright scary.

Every day, i am always dizzy and lightheaded while sitting or standing up. Sometimes my hands will all tingle, or my tongue, or the bridge of my nose.
At some points i'll be on the verge of fainting but never do. During the real lightheaded spells, i'll have trouble thinking or even talking. After a meal, i'll get really sluggish. ( Feels like a lack of blood flow.. )

I've had EVERY test done on me. Every blood test, hormone test, every digestive test, etc. EXECPT for any neurological studies.

Its getting really annoying and its hard sometimes to lead a normal life, and i'm only 22!!

My doctor at first suggested SSRI uptake medicine ( Paxil, Xanax ) but then decided against it because he saw no sign of anxiety or depression, which i know is true.
I don't sit around and sulk, and worry, despite my condition.
I still get 95% grades on my exams, i'm working hard on producing a music album, and i was able to get a girlfriend all at the same time. I never want to let this take ahold of me, but lately its getting worse.

Anyone have the same symptoms, and have had them fixed?

I dont get headaches if that helps, just some short pains occasionally in the head, and then i'll feel funny.

Any advice will help..

I'm scared to go to the doctor anymore because he probably thinks im a nutball!

Since you have been completely checked over, all I can suggest is reading the other posts here, their symptoms, and my replies to them. One cause of this problem is commonly overlooked. It is a problem with the upper back and neck. I went through many symptoms of dizzy spells, light headedness, arm tingling, numbness, and it all stemmed from a problem with my muscles in my neck and upper back, the muscles were pressing on the blood vessels supplying the oxygen to my brain. I had to go to physical therapy to have soft tissue work done on me, to get this resolved. A neuro. can check certain trigger points in your upper back and neck to see if the problem may be stemming from this. Good luck

Are you eating enough and taking vitamins? Did you have any sort of injury before these symptoms started?
You may want to see a neurologist.

I hope you feel better,
