Dizziness/Dilated Pupils/Fatigue
I have dilated pupils (i've never seen them this big), spells of dizziness that seem to cycle. I'm never not dizzy, but at times it is much worse than others. I'm almost afraid to stand up at this time because I'm worried I'll pass out I get so dizzy. I'm slightly nauseous, can't seem to get enough to drink and my urine still looks as if I'm dehydrated.
This has gone on for two days, both of which I've woke up with a headache. The headache goes away after a half hour or an hour. Then approximately 4-5 hours after waking up the symptoms start to appear and progressively get worse.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
I read through your post. Based on the information provided by you, I think you are suffering from ‘benign intracranial hypertension’(BIH). This happens due to impaired CSF absorption. A generalized throbbing headache worst felt in the morning and last thing at night. This headache is generally relieved on standing (consistent with raised intracranial pressure). It is aggravated by straining, coughing or a change in position. This headache is accompanied by various neurological symptoms such as dizziness, numbness, loss of vision, loss of hearing etc, all of which are temporary.
The other possibility is severe fall in blood glucose or blood pressure, high BP or diabetes.
It can be any other cause too. Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult a doctor immediately—go to ER if that is fastest. Take care!
