very uncomfortable.... - Headaches & Migraines Message Board

I don't know if I'm in the right forum but....

For the past few days it's like I've been constantly lightheaded and there feels like some very mild pressure in the forehead region. Like I'll just be sitting or laying down and all of a sudden feel lightheaded and dizzy. Once or twice I thought I was going to keel over but was fine. I'm confused because I'll get lightheaded if I sit up too fast but it has never hit me while I'm sitting down not moving.

Please help! Right now I'm without insurance but just turned in my app. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated!

When was the last time you had your blood pressure checked?

Last time...end of December 05 and it was slightly elevated but I think it was because I was nervous....I thought I might've had an STD but no I don't

Otherwise everytime my BP been taken its been completely normal

I would still go to the doctors. Explain to the person at the front desk that you have no insurance. Somethimes, they will reduce their rates and/or make some "type of arraingement".
Whatever meds the doctor prescribes always ask for samples. Most doctors are more than happy to oblidge.

Insurance companies are always charged a higer rate than cash paying patients.

Good Luck
