What Causes Dizziness,bloating And Lethargy?
Hi, I am 16, female. I have been very light headed and dizzy the past few days, to the point where things go black and I have to hold on to something or someone so I don't fall flat on my face or bottom. For the prior 2 1/2 months I have had bloating which has gotten worse overtime, but no significant weight gain, not to explain the difference in the size of my lower abdomen, I also eat the same, if not less cause I often feel sick, and extremely tired. Along with sharp shooting pains, and an irregular period. I thought I may be pregnant, so I took two hpt's both negative. So I went to the gynecologist where she had me take another, it came back positive in my urine, the same day no more then an hour later I went for blood work which came back negative. I went for a follow up which was also negative. What is wrong, am I pregnant?

Hello Welcome to Health Care Magic.
Don't worry much. Stay calm.
pregnancy test is negative right now but it may turn positive once the hormonal level reaches up to the detection level.
you need to go for pregnancy test after you miss your periods. there is no chances of pregnancy if the flow of blood during period is normal in amount and duration. if only spotting is present then also you need to go for evaluation.
meanwhile start folic acid, multivitamin supplements, high fiber diet, increase liquids also. its just symptoms of low blood pressure and gastric discomfort.
Hope this information helps you.
Best wishes.
