What Is The Reason For Lightheadedness , Pressure In Head, Sensitivity To Light, Sound Happening Only In The Evening?

i have been feeling light headed for two weeks almost. it happens every evening while im sitting and watching TV alone, i get this undeniable apathy/ lightheadedness. i eat a normal dinner. the creepiest part is the fact that when im sitting, my right leg feels like the circulation isnt working, i feel pressure in my head, sensitivity to bright light and loud sounds. i dont really notice this during the daytime.

Hello dear,

The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be due to:
1. Deficiency of certain nutrients like Iron, Vitamin B 12, Calcium, Magnesium, etc.
2. Any fluctuation in blood pressure levels
3. Altered blood sugar levels
4. Inadequate hydration & nutrition status.
5. Peripheral neuropathy.

Symptomatic relief can be obtained with nervigenic agents (like Vit B6, B12, Folic acid) & multivitamin & mineral supplementation.

Investigations like complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure and blood sugar levels & doppler study of the right leg will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.

There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Meanwhile, maintain adequate hydration, take a healthy balanced diet & avoid stress.

Wishing a good health.
Take care.
