Headaches and dizziness

[VivaciousJewelz]

So, I got dizzy and fell in the shower today. I didn't black out or anything, and I caught myself so I didn't injure myself (and frankly, I've fallen in the shower plenty of times b/c I'm just that much of a klutz), so it wasn't a big deal. This is the second dizzy spell I've had in two weeks (the other one almost made me fall down the stairs). I'm getting headaches almost everyday and serious migraines twice a week for the last two months... should I be concerned or is there a logical (simple) explanation?

Oh... and I am positive that I am not pregnant.

ear infection or low blood sugar. Hope you're okay!

Well if ya hadn't added that last part I was gonna guess you were pregnant but since you're not it's probably an ear infection.

Yes, it could be an inner ear infection combined with sleep deprivation. Brea(your twin, born on your birthday) had the exact same symptoms a couple of weeks ago. We took her to the Dr. and he said the dizziness was inner ear, which was what I suspected. The headaches he thought were due to lack of sleep, due to work, school, basketball, homework, and a boyfriend. He actually told her to drink a cup of Diet Mt. Dew on the days she woke up with the headaches in the morning.

Hypertension, visual problems, and as you said Migraines. As a Migraine suffer, who has been disabled due to those awful things, PLEASE go get checked out. Check out the NHF (National Headache Foundation) website to help identify any symptoms you can report to your doctor when you go. Good luck and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

And STRESS! I know you have a lot of it these days so that may be a factor as well as what others have posted about.

[VivaciousJewelz]

But I've been under a lot of stress for months, and this just started recently. I'm arguably under less stress now than I was over the summer. It could be lack of sleep, though that's always been an issue with me.

Are you anemic?

[CW&M Mom]

Okay I know you don't have insurance...

Get something to test your blood sugar, do it first thing in to the morning before you eat anything. Then tell us what your blood sugar is.

Go to the grocery store and check what your Grocery store is and check your blood pressure in those little thingies is.

I have nearly passed out in the shower before. It was my blood pressure (too low)...but the headache...is kind of weird...because headache normally would mean your BP is too high..and that won't make you pass out.

I don't know how to test for anemia with out you going to a doctor or clinic. Is there a free or sliding scale clinic around?? Health department maybe? It's a super easy test.
