What Causes Lightheadedness, Numbness In Lower Back, Headache And Nausea?

I was laying on my stomach propping my upper body with my elbows. Then I became very light headed and then I loss feeling of my lower back. I then couldn t move my lower body as if I was super weak. I turned over and then had a bad weezing sensation. I coughed up blood and was having trouble getting my breathing normal. After 5 minutes I got feeling again but I had a very bad headache and nausea. I went to see the ER and my ct scan and bloodwork came back normal. Was this a panic attack or something else that I should look into.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

As per your history, it may be due to nerve compression at lumbar spine level.

For further assessment you may require MRI back, nerve conduction studies after consultation.

Till then you can take tablet acetaminophen for pain. Take tablet ondensetron for nausea.

Do regular blood pressure monitoring. Take balanced diet and keep your self hydrated

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
