I get it, but it's easier to manage things when they're smaller issues, rather than leaving them, which may mean they get worse. :dontknow:

Yeah I agree, thank you :smile:

it might be anemia, or it could just be your blood sugar is low. that's symptoms of when a diabetic is having a hypo (don't panic - im not saying you have diabetes!). try eating or drinking something sugary and see how you feel after maybe?

Ah okay, i'll do just that, thanks :smile:

OMDs i'm sorry to hear this :console:
I guess I should go to my GP, I hate medical attention tho!!

You definitely should speak to your GP. It could be lots of different things, including a problem with your heart. Definitely get it checked out.

If your heart is beating irregularly, that can make you dizzy and make it hard to breath. It probably isn't that in your case, but you won't know for sure unless you see a doctor.

Why? If your doctor finds out what's going on, you will be able to get treatment to make you feel better.

Still better to get it dealt with so you can improve your quality of life.

Yep, exactly this!
it likely could be low blood pressure - go to the doctors and get your bloods taken and that will give you the answer!
I'm wondering if it could be to do with blood pressure, you need to seek advice from your GP.
i have this when i’m stood up too long
Same here! Everytime I stand up quickly, my eyesight goes slightly blurry and I can literally feel blood rushing to my head. I think it's called Orthostatic hypotension. Try give it a search.

I hope you're able to speak to your GP soon to sort it out/get an answer. It sucks, but having answers means a plan of action. I wish I'd dealt with my issues earlier than I chose to tbh, so I hope you learn from me in that respect.
i get this but i don't have anaemia. I drink plenty and have a varied diet. I have no heart problems. no matter how slowly or fast i get up i feel very dizzy/ lightheaded. fainted a couple of times. I dunno what to do

I feel lightheaded/dizzy all the time, I feel weak af and I feel like i'mma pass out (thankfully I don't actually pass out). Also, I feel unstable as in I lose my balance a lot, I find it hard to stand on my feet for too long as i'll end up feeling lightheaded/dizzy and i'll end up becoming unstable.

When I feel like this, my breathing does not feel normal.

I don't know what to do!


I felt the same and my iron was so low I needed an iron infusion lol

Do you eat on time?
Are you having enough sleep and without waking up in the middle of the night?

Take deep breath.. hold for a few secs and release it slowly!
