Had a dizzy turn today

Keeps us on our toes.......

What age are you Flyinghandbag? You never really give a straight answer to any questions.

Do your parents know you are asking strangers for advice on your medical problems?
Lockdown, doesn't mean you can't see or speak to a doctor, so that is not avalid excuse.
I'm shielding, like many on here and I'm still able to access medical treatment, much of it by phone or video conferencing.

I suspect you are quite lonely.

DH has just had soup, maybe if he had sat on the floor he wouldn’t have spilt it over the table. Or maybe he would have spilt it all over the floor?

At least he didn't spill it on himself!

Oh well!
There have been worse ‘cons’ in the past which weren’t spotted.

I'm middle aged. X

I have a feeling everyone is being taken for a ride

This could very well be the case but its also possible FH has problems with her mental health and everything else is down to this, or they perhaps mask genuine health problems.

Either way no one here can help her and all that's to be said repeatedly is - please go and see your Dr.

I don't have problems with my mental health, I have anxiety but I am fully in control of my own mind. I'll go to the doctor. X

I'll go to the doctor. X

Great news. [thumbs up]

Many of us thought this weeks ago.

Oh well, it gives us poor old souls something to do, Meryl.

I think the OP needs a bit of compassion. Having to come on here, looking for some attention is quite sad. She doesn't seem to have much going on in her life and perhaps lockdown has made things worse for her .

As long as FH is just a rather lonely soul on GN, and not a bored sixth former looking for a bit of fun at our expense during lockdown.

I normally have a very busy life in spite of my chronic pain, but since lockdown, life has went from 100 to 0. I normally visit relatives, go shopping and generally have a very full life, but lockdown has stripped me of my life and motivation. Gransnet has been a pillar of strength for me in the current situation.

Hit post too soon. I am starting to see light at the end of the tunnel, and I know I will be back to my old self soon. X

I hope so, FH.
Lockdown is affecting a lot of people strangely, even if they / we don't realise it.

Do you not work, Flying handbag?
Lockdown means you can still go out for exercise and if you were able to have a full life before Lockdown, there is nothing to stop you , especially now that things are easing.

I'm in permanent pain and shielding into the bargain, but I'm still managing to get a little bit of exercise and fill my days.

You are still being evasive and that is why posters are doubting you. It's a pity, if you are genuinely looking for companionship.

Thanks so much. X

You say your Mother realised how ill you were as you were outside without makeup on! With all you share with us about your health issues, is this the only red flag your Mother has picked up on thus ignoring all the problems you tell us you are experiencing?

I tell her as little as possible so as not to worry her. X

FlyingHandbag if you feel so ill, please ring 111 next time, my daughter has done this and they were very helpful. If necessary they will get a doctor to ring you, or even call an ambulance.

I agree with Humptydumpty. You must ring NHS111 if this happens again. Your Blood pressure could be at fault...you could be dehydrated for some reason.
This happened to me some months ago before lockdown and I was whisked off to A&E by ambulance...where I was diagnosed with postural drop plus Atrial Fibrillation.

I was given tests and medication and am fine now.

Don’t delay...!

You might have a middle ear issue. Episodes of severe dizziness that are intermittent occur with this. It s treatable wth medication and/or physical therapy in a short period of time. You might look up Eply Maneuver on the internet for more info. Please visit your doctor before you fall and injure yourself.

As we know nothing about the OPs medica! history , it really won't help her anxiety issues by speculating about what is wrong with her and making suggestions based on our own medical issues.
The best course of action is to seek medical help. That's the only course of action, not filling her head with ideas.
We are not qualified to diagnose.

She has already admitted that she suffers from anxiety and being in lockdown has exacerbated this.

I normally have a very busy life in spite of my chronic pain

I don't remember your mentioning your chronic pain or the cause of it. Perhaps you could refresh my memory? If you are on pain relief medication, you might need to have it reviewed in case it might be the cause of your dizzy spells.
