Why I Am Feeling Extremely Dizzy, Light Headed, Losing Balance While Getting Up? Blood Test Normal. Taking Medication For Anxiety
For the last 3 months I have been getting dizzy light headed and lost of balance when I stand up and walk around. The dizziness goes away after sitting down. I feel tired and fatigued specially in the morning. I get 7-8 hours sleep but after I get up I m still tired and I end up having to take an hour nap after being awake 2-3 hours. I do have some anxiety. The doctor ran basic blood test came back ok and said it not vertigo or ear problems. My doctor washed his hands of me and sent me to a Psychiatrists and for the last 2 months he s had me on SSRI which isn t helping me one bit. He gave me medication for my anxiety and that seems to work for that. Why do I get so tired I almost fell asleep driving and why do I get dizzy. I lost my job because of this.
After starting SSRI , are you still having the same problem?
I would like to know your age , your Blood pressure , blood sugar levels. I would like to know in case you have some sexual problem like erection problem. I would suggest you to get an ECG done , and in case it has any abnormality , or even if it is normal , your doctor , may do a "Postural Drop" Test (it is a clinical examination.
