It's persistant. I don't know if it's correlated to anxiety. I have lost conciousness a couple times. I saw a dr a couple years ago who told me that he didn't know why and not to worry about it unless it got worse. My only know medical "issue" is that I have enlarged red blood cells which I'm told can cause light headedness.
Brief Answer:
Repeat hemogram/ Anxiety is the probable cause.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for being in follow-up and providing further details.
As the symptoms have not worsened over a couple of years,so it is more likely to be anxiety.If it would have been a definite organic disease,probability was high of the disease progression.
However,as you mentioned of increased red blood cells,that can definitely cause light headedness and other problems as well,however,one report can be false at times and it should be re-confirmed.So,you should get a repeat hemogram test done.
If symptoms however increase in future,then you should get yourself physically examined.
Hope that helps.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up else please close the thread,rate it and write a review.
