Have Dizziness And Light Headedness
Hello, I don't have health insurance so I can't see a doctor for random stuff like this. For the past 4 months I've been getting really weird dizzy spells and lightheadedness... I'm almost always tired no matter how much sleep I get And just recently I've been having a weird metallic flavor in my mouth and I've been shaky. Do you have any ideas on what might be wrong with me? Anytime I mention any of these things to a doctor they look at me like I'm an idiot... they don't give me any answers and they don't ask me any questions.. they just change the subject. Maybe its due to the fact that I don't have any insurance? Any suggestions or information would help! Thank you :)

Hi!
welcome to HCM!
Lightheadedness and Dizziness is a common complaint in people having low blood pressure. When the blood pressure is too low, not enough oxygen-rich blood is being delivered to the brain, and its function can be affected.
Low blood pressure may be the result of an underlying illness or disease, or it may be a normal physiologic condition may be due to sleep deprivation.Good sleep of at least 6 hrs is required for a person to feel fresh and healthy. Some common reasons for low blood pressure include the following:Anemia ,dehydration, Fever also can cause a significant amount of water loss due to increased metabolic rate and excessive sweating as the body tries to cool itself.Anxiety can also cause dizziness and nausea.so ask him to be relaxed!
hope this helps you!take care
