So I have been feeling dizzy and light headed lately to the point that I stumble while standing still at times. They have done blood work and a ct scan, so far nothing. Getting an MRI done asap as this is making it impossible for me to work. I looked up the symptoms last night with my gf and 9/10 things were super scary with a lot less scary stuff ruled out.

Anxious as fuck right now tbh as I am heading to the doctor. If they cant figure out what is up I am going to check into the hospital until they give me an answer.

That's definitely alarming. Hope they can figure out what's going on and get you straightened out. Dizziness ain't something to fuck with.

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

some kind of vasovagal thing?

I'd also take a peek at your blood calcium though if they did blood work they probably did that already

well good luck !

Have you ever had a concussion? It can take years to fully recover from even a moderate one, and symptoms can present themselves at any time, and unless there was bleeding, nothing would show up on a CT scan.

Sugar has actually been doing really, really well. Got my A1C down from 8.5 to 6.9 so that's trending majorly in the right direction. Blood pressure is usually great but it has been a little high lately due to the stress of this.

Good luck dude

Do you suffer from migraines? I feel like I've heard you say that in the past, although maybe I'm mixing you up with somebody else. My father gets migraines and he had a period where it would make him get dizzy and off balance, to the point it made him collapse at one point. He didn't end up having anything too serious, he still has to deal with the migraines but is otherwise doing fine. Here's hoping it ends up going similarly smoothly for you.

Sounds like inner ear infection/issue. Inner ear controls balance.

But, that kind of should have been an easy diagnosis, so maybe not.

I had this happen when extremely stressed out at work once. Everything was wobbling and tilting and I fell on my face. Went to doctor and they said it was vertigo. My blood pressure was high and cut off blood flow to my inner ear. That it would never ever truly go away though it would come and go afterwards.

Followed up and have Meneire's Disease. Causing me hearing loss almost completely in my right ear and causing bouts of vertigo here and there with no rhyme or reason.

Can have 30-50 attacks in a month or none for 2 years. Totally random.

Good luck, I hope it's nothing and try not to worry about it oo much. I know it's easier said than done but stressing yourself out and googling symptoms will likely make it worse. Try relax and keep us updated.

This happened to me when I stopped taking SSRI meds cold turkey. Could it be that?

Yeah, my MRI was clear of any abnormalities. I'm in the boat with a lot of people here; it's probably inner ear or allergy related. I started taking an allergy med and it seemed to have done the trick.

They asked me to close my eyes and march in place. After that test, they knew my shit was fucked up. They said I circled so many times, and almost went into walls that they got scared. My balance is needless to say all screwed up from Meneire's Disease.

They will make you follow lights and do that. If the same as mine.
