anybody have moments of faintness?
I had friends over earlier today, and i was sitting chatting to them and all of a sudden i thought i was gonna faint.luckily i was sat on sofa and not standing. I just felt all tired and really really faint. Any advice? is this "normal".? It was a faint/weak horrible feeling. I didnt feel anxious,but hubby said you can be anxious without actually realising it. They were my friends who i have known for years,who is an audiologist that i speak to bout my ear probs.So not like i was scared in case i felt ill or anything.

I have had this feeling. Ran it by my PT and he said it can come from sensory overload. Our minds are trying so hard to compensate that we can get that lightheaded feeling....

yeah i suppose i was overloading my self--conversations,bobbing baby on my knee,hubby talking to us also. God its awful,feel like a freak,cant even have a normal get together with friends without feeling pants! And i felt fab this morn!!!! We went shopping for a new car seat for molly. Typical isnt it! Oh well tomorro is a new day! Charlotte did you get an MRI done?

Yeah i have felt faint a few times too....

Maria...I did not. I was pregnant when first diagnosed. However, they might decide I need one. I have an appt. in the morning!

Hi, Maria

Yes I have felt faint on numerous occasions and have realised there is absolutley no pattern to it it can happen to me anytime, its just awful especially when you have felt well I know how you feel.

Agreed with Charlotte, this also happens, without a vestibular injury present, on strong cases of Anxiety.

And as Anxiety is quite common in vestibular patients... well, this could be, like "normal", and yes I've experienced it too, specially under combined stress.
