why do i get this odd dizzy feeling ?!?!?!?!

[bronnie-d]

Almost everyday and around the same time i get this odd feeling. Its like my head is spinning or shaking from side to side ad i cant see things properly , even though i know im still. I try and stop it by holding my head even stiller and trying to focus on something but my efforts are useless ! I dont know why i get this feeling but its a real pain in the back side !!! any help ? :)

When does it occur?

it could be vertigo.. you don't have to be up high to get those symptoms..

[bronnie-d]

i get it when im on my laptop like now , i had the feeling about a 5 mins ago not long after writing the question and its still affecting me.

But i get it before i go to bed sometimes and i get it bad in the morning. and when i get up fomr just sitting down, at first i though maybe head rush so i started getting up slowely but still no help.


Ive never had a problem with height. ever. infact for a laugh i ahd to do a jump from a 30meter high block and i was fine with that ! ?!

you can have vertigo with your feet firmly on the ground.

you may have slightly low blood pressure if you get this when you stand up.. doesn't mean it's a problem but worth mentioning to the doctor if it's been going on a while.

[bronnie-d]

hmm yeah i might do.

another fact that may be worth saying is i get it worse when im on my period ?!?!

Could it be this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labyrinthitis

A girl I used to work with suffered from it now and again.

Could well be vertigo which can be caused by a number of things.

The fact you have it at the same time suggests some possible trigger, are you able to think of anything which may trigger it off?

You should definitely have it checked out by your GP.

It may be the subtle flickering on ur laptop is affecting your brain or possible as it occurs when u wake that it is some form of migraine? Do u wear specs/contact lenses - if so might be time to renew your prescription but if you don't an eye test will be a good idea. A visit to your GP to check blood pressure or the balance in youer inner idea would rule things out or in to the equation:)

Could be anaemia, have you have a blood count done recently?

Could also be low blood sugar level?

[bronnie-d]

. i havnt had any blood test or anything along that line done so i think i shall lol.

i dont wear specs or anything. i went for an eye test almost a year ago now i think and all they said was i was slightly long-sighted and that it will probably get worse as i age.

[bronnie-d]

yeah to an anwer thats kinda interesting.

i often find my self very off balance, hehe even the fit board tells me im very off, and i havnt long gooton rid of a virus infection in my chest ?! hmmm :P:)

im gonna go to the quacks and have my blood pressure checked.
