Question: Severe dizzy spells and headaches when stressed?
Answer:
Full Question:
It seems that whenever I get stressed out I have been getting really dizzy. I get so dizzy that I feel nauseas and I see everything in the room spins. The dizziness only occurs for about 5 seconds and my worst was about 20 seconds. I couldn't stand up without falling over. I have severe headaches after these spells. My doctor gave me an MRI which came back normal, I have no idea why this has started happening and I don't know what to do about it. I get these "stress spells" about 1 or 2 times a week. Please help! Jessica
Answer:
Dear Jessica;
Unfortunately, it's impossible for us to do much other than tell you to go back to your doctor. It's quite impossible to diagnose via the Internet. What you describe could be any number of things from severe tension headaches to panic attacks. If your doctor can't help you, ask for a referral to a neurologist.
Good luck,
Teri Robert and John Claude Krusz
