Dizzy and numb tongue...what is this?

[Queenbee245]

I havnt had this for a few years but had one this morning
I get dizzy almost like I'm going to faint, when it happens I hold onto something to steady myself and I usually black out for a second or two and then it passes, after it passes my tongue goes numb for a few seconds

Is this just me fainting? Or could it be linked to something else?

You must see your GP . Could it be the heat?
I have occasionally had a numb tongue and jaw just sitting - no dizzyness, and mine is due to a narrowed vertebrae in the neck which sometimes becomes a bit trapped. I was told it is very usual with women as we get older - I was in my 30s when I first got the dizzyness on its own. That it can cause dizzyness and heachaches - latter I don't suffer with. The numb tongue started in my later 40s.
I just wiggled my neck around and wiggled the tongue like mad and it soon went away.

op I have had spells of dizziness and a numb / tingly feeling in my tongue... not as bad as you're describing (no blacking out). I've no idea what it is and am always hopeless about going to the dr. I shall watch your thread with interest..
Perhaps it affects people with "Queen names"?!

Yes maybe you're right being a queen is hard work sighs
I only black out for literally a second or two so I don't full on faint, it could possibly be the heat although that's interesting about the vertebrae

I would get it checked out in case it's a mild form of epilepsy.

Hyperventilating? I know a girl who carried a paper bag for these moments. She wasn't visibly having a panic attack or anything, but would often hyperventilate until she blacked out. She learned to control it with the bag.

I also had benign positional paroxysmal vertigo one summer which was a bit like this. I had to stop driving for a month or so.

bump...

and again...
