I seem to be having "funny turns" - any ideas?

[DrMarthaMcMoo]

Had one yesterday morning - just a fleeting room spin/dizzy/light-headed moment but it made me feel quite odd.

And just now, standing in the playground - suddenly felt really panicky that I would keel over: just really dizzy and light-headed.

Any ideas? I have eaten - btw - it's not because I'm hungry.

iron
blood pressure
stress
someone spiked your milkshake?

Low blood pressure?

I tend to high, rather than low, blood pressure but it was fine about a week ago when I went to get more pill.

And I take a multi-vitamin (with iron).

I am a bit stressy atm - am not sleeping well and have an infuriating twitchy eye (now you all think I am like that mad policeman in Clouseau - Clouseu's boss I mean).

Definitely not any alcohol/drugs either

Have you had a bad head cold recently?I have and it has played havoc with my ears and I have been having funny episodes of room spinning and dizziness

Stress can do that to you. Did it to me the other day when we were having house moving nightmares. I felt properly peculiar.

Or you might be coming down with something. Much in the way of bugs about atm.

Maybe you're coming down with something. Do you suffer with your sinuses?

Anaemia?

I am starting with a cold but don't feel proper poorly (yet...) Maybe that's it.

I don't think I'm anaemic, though I have got my period.

Oh poor old me...I'm stressed out, getting a cold, on the blob and I'm having funny turns All be nice to me, quick.

Thank you, hunker

Happened to DH a little while ago, and the Dr. said it was the old ear imbalance thing!

He got over it, but it was a little worrying!

Vertigo and/or viral laringhtitus(sp).
I have experienced similar symptons over past year and gp diagnosed it as this.

Thanks guys - will go to the GP if it persists after the weekend. Just googled my symptoms - I may have syphillis or possibly arsenic poisoning

DrMarthaMoo, are you me??

Your symptoms are exactly the same as mine.
I went to bed last night at 7.30 but still feel the same. On top of it all I feel queezy too.

Good luck with the arsenic poisoning...

I've felt nauseous too. It's some bug, isn't it? I went to bed after ER and still feel 'not right' this morning.

Have you given up smoking recently?

I don't know, Fio - I am, as mentioned, a bit stressed out atm - not sleeping etc. It'll pass, whatever it is.

10 years ago, squonk.

I'm taking Kalms, actually - I wasn't sure if they helped or not.

So do you feel dizzy etc. when you're feeling anxious, Fio?

Yup, I know that feeling - it's horrible.

OK. It could be anaemia, low blood pressure, a bad head cold, labyrinthitis, vertigo, ear infection, laryngitis, ear imbalance, stress, giving up smoking, syphillis, stress or arsenic poisoning.

Hope it's not syphillis - saw that film with Johnny Depp and his nose fell off. That's not a good look for me.

Well, I am putting mine down to Arsenic poisoning....
How long do you think I have??

No, seriously, have my period, a stinking headcold with twinges of earache, and feel sick. Must be a bug. I hope...

Mind you, my period was a week early, so the nausea could be hormonal too...

Aaargh, have a busy weekend planned, can't be doing feeling like this...
