Avatar f tn ve been experiencing a lot of headaches and I have been getting pretty dizzy and lightheaded.. what causes this and what can I do to help with the dizziness.. it catches me off guard sometimes and I worry about fainting..
Avatar n tn In this condition blood vessels tend to expand, which leads to pooling of blood in the lower parts of the body. As a result, less blood reaches the brain and this causes fainting. The usual stimulus for this action resides in the nerves of the heart-hence the term neurocardiogenic. A head-up tilt test can uncover the underlying cause of the fainting in this syndrome.
Avatar f tn The amount of blood in your body is increasing and that is usually what causes it. If it happens a lot you should definitely go in and get some blood work done. But if it's just once in a while just try and be safe and bring it up at your next doctors visit.
Avatar n tn i'm a 51 yr old female who has been having symptoms of fatigue, uncontrollable sleepiness, numbness & tingling in the hands & feet, dizziness with some fainting, nausea, sweating. this has been going on for about 2 months and i'm not getting any better. what can cause this?
Avatar n tn I have copied this out for you, it happens quite frequently While there are uncommon serious causes of passing out in children, the majority of fainting episodes are brought about by reasons that are neither serious nor life-threatening. The most common reason for fainting in children is called vasovagal syncope [VAY-so-VAY-gull SEENK-oh-pee). Vasovagal syncope is an abnormal reaction of the nerves to otherwise normal circumstances. These nerves dictate the heart rate and blood pressure.
Avatar f tn Women have a huge amount of nightmares during pregnancy because women experience more palpitations in pregnancy.

Avatar n tn pregnancy? stress? these symptoms can be so many things... If you felt better in the morning you could have been just too tired. I would recommend plenty of rest, cut the caffeine for a few days, but go see a doctor if it comes back...

Avatar f tn are you pregnant or trying? fainting is something that i guess is common in early pregnancy. other than that i would say stay very hydrated and keep cool. hot weather can take a toll on ones body.
Avatar f tn I am concerned about some fainting that has gone on in the past year, and will be seeing my doctor soon, but would like to see if I can calm my nerves about my symptoms beforehand. I am a 20 year old college women and between last summer and this summer I have experienced 3 fainting spells, all under different conditions. The first two I feel like I have a basic understanding of why they occurred, but will share them anyways as I am concerned that my most recent one has no explanation.
Avatar n tn That could be dehydration, I would recommend LOTS of fluids and go to your primary care physician to run tests.
933846 tn?1353452448 (( I COPY AND PASTED IT lol )) A chemical pregnancy is the clinical term used for a very early miscarriage. In many cases, the positive pregnancy test was achieved before the woman’s period was due but a miscarrige occured before a heartbeat was able to be seen on an ultrasound.Most chemical pregnancies are due to chromosomal problems in the developing fetus.
Avatar f tn My poor daughter Ashley has seen every doctor under the sun to find out why she has these symptons...breathing difficulties...chest pain...light headness...fainting and near fainting...headaches...tingling in hands and arms...her legs feel like there are huge weights on them...she is also very tired. Now, she has been diagnosed with pleurisy and she also had a D-diner blood test that came back elevated.

Avatar m tn I have dark brown stuff come for my vagina and cramping in my low stomach what do that mean, do I go to the hospital because I'm scared
Avatar f tn Did you get bloated in early early pregnancy (like a month or so) IF so where did you experience this bloating? In your upper stomach like right below your breasts OR down below your belly button. I am currently experiencing bloating/pressure in both area and was wondering if this was normal? Oh and another thing My dad is painting the house so how harmful is it for me to be around the paint vapors?
Avatar n tn Since you also faint, take a pregnancy test and see. Other causes are hypothyroidism, cervical dysplasia, cervical polyps, cervicitis (infection/inflammation of cervix), vaginitis (infection/inflammation of vagina), cervical and uterine cancer, uterine fibroids, hormonal imbalance as in polycystic disease of the ovary, use of blood thinners, genital ulcers, STDs and stress. The best thing would be to consult a gynecologist and try and assess what is the cause of your problem.
Avatar f tn I don't know what causes your abdominal pain, but since it seems like a precursor to a faint, has anybody ever checked to make sure your abdominal aorta was in fine condition, with no wall weaknesses? I might be way off base here and way out in left field, but if it were me, I'd be curious to know and wanting to make sure I did not have an abdominal aortic aneurysm or other abnormality there.
Avatar f tn What does it mean to have massive pain in the back of your head and neck that also causes dizziness and slight fainting?
