What Causes Dizziness And Lightheadedness?

At age of 12, I have been electrocuted while replacing a lamp for 5-10 mins. My family asked the neighbours about what should do about this matter and they said I will be ok through time. 2 years have passed and I was fine. But one day while sleeping I felt there is electricity moving in my body rapidly and I woke up in hospital after 15 mins. By that day, I experienced dizziness, light-headedness everyday for 3 years and I went to many doctors during the 3 years and made many tests but I was ok and they told me dizziness will go away throw time. However, until now I experiencing dizziness and light-headedness.

Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

As your age is quite young,there is nothing to much worry about if you didnt experienced skin burn due to electric shock and if there was no loss of consciousness along with vertigo and vomitting at time of incident.

Get visit to medical consultant and do an ECG and complete blood and urine count.If these reports are normal then this might be due to psychological effects for which seeking advice from psychiatrists will be good option..

Till then take good diet and drink plenty of fluds to be energetic.





Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
