fainting
The headaches is located at the back of my head. Symptoms, often a wave of a fainting feeling, dizzy, very weak. When I moved to Texas three years ago, I started having all these head problems. I saw and ENT and he gave me Prednisone for the pressure also I have had MRI and CAT scans (shows nothing). Every once in awhile I have problems with my ears. I one time I was diagnosed with Chronic Sinusitis. I've been given antibiotics, nasal spray the whole nine yards...
I have also experienced isolated/occasional heart palpitations that occasionally cause me to have near-fainting and I was told these were early beats and not to worry about it. I've also had symptoms of general lightheadedness, as well as shortness on breath and vision fading during heavy lifting.
If you ever feel nasueous, get blurry or changed vision, or have unexplained fainting or extreme dizziness go to the ER. You may need to get a CT to check your head for other problems. Good luck to you.
Alternatively, some healthy young people may not have a routine ECG, and LQTS may be suspected because of their family history or because of unexplained fainting episodes. In any family where repeated episodes of fainting or a history of sudden death exists, an investigation of the cause, including LQTS, should be undertaken. Is there a family history?
There are treatments for LQTS, including medications such as beta blockers.
There could be many reasons for unexplained falling from the benign like an inner ear infection to the serious like brain tumors.Unfortunately the only way to know what the cause is, is for the Dr. to run tests and give his medical opinion. The best thing to do is keep the doctor's appointment and be completely honest about all the symptoms even if you think they are unimportant details.
My girlfriend suffers from unexplained drops in blood pressure, sometimes causing her to pass out and even stops her breathing. Tests in hospitals in England have come up with nothing but blaming the drop of blood pressure (sometimes as low as 54/47), but can find no cause for why it drops. They succesfully induced the fainting through tests where she had to step up and down a low platform and running on a treadmill, three times resulting in them having to use crash pads to bring her back.
Please point me in the right direction, I am not asking to be normal again, I just want to know what I need to do to get these symptoms under control. No fever or fainting associated with any of the symptoms.
I await your response.
Some of us like me have double whammies with NCS/OI [neurocardiogenic syncope and orthostatic intolerance] and heart problems that cause each episode to be worse than normal fainting. The TTT is used to evaluate the cause of unexplained fainting; lightheadedness and dizziness.
If you do faint, they raise you down pretty quickly and get your legs up so the blood can flow back to your heart fast. I had mine done at the hospital before my ablation, so others may have had them differently.

Last week, I had an episode of fainting, I woke up feeling faint then walked few steps before feeling weird and sweating then everything turned black. I couldn't see a single thing, the world was black around me so I started reaching out for a chair I can sit on then the next thing I know, I open my eyes and I'm on the ground. I think this lasted few minutes, I wasn't panicking or anything.
Now that I have presented with the gastroparesis, he believes that fluctuations in blood sugar may also be contributing to the near fainting episodes and fluctuations in heart and pulse rate. Blood work has not revealed any particularly high or low blood sugars but this would not tell me whether they are fluctuating throughout the day.
I noticed duing some research into these problems that the vagus nerve regulates both heart rate and also gastric functions.
Lyme disease can cause IBS, mood problems like bi-polar disorder, depression and anxiety. Migraines, sweating and fainting can also be a symptom. Have you ever had problems with rashes on your body, muscle pain, sharp stabbing pains anywhere in the body, joint pain, neck pain, unexplained fatigue, insomnia or anything else you can think of.
Since talking to a friend of mine, she explained that after her hysterectomy last year she had the exact same symptoms and was even vomiting and fainting. It took her about 5 months for the symptoms to start subsiding. Another friend who has also had a recent hysterectomy is also experiencing the same thing. In 2007, my doctor ordered a CAT scan looking for the explaination to my numbness but discovered I had an enlarged thyroid.
what worries me is that the last two incidents have occurred within the past six months of each other, the closest i have ever experienced two very-near-fainting episodes (cold sweats, extreme dizziness and blurred vision all coming on very suddenly)... knowing what was happening each of these times i have been able to stop from fainting by sitting down and drinking water or soda, and cold air also helps.
