Headaches,Light headed
by kristaface, Jul 23, 2008 06:29PM
For the past 7 months i have had constant headaches with lightheadedness.once in a while my body feels like its going numb and its harder for me to breathe.Over the past month or so the headaches havnt been so bad but i have been light headed alot.When i was 14 i got my thyroid radiated and since then i have been taking levothyroxine.my levels have been way off so doctors thought that that is what could be causing my symptoms. They put me on .125 mg of levothyroxine and i got my tsh levels checked and they are perfectly normal at .4.
I still have all of the same symptoms so i am thinking that my thyroid isnt what is causing all these symptoms.Does anyone have any idea on what this could be.

The key causes that lead to lightheadedness are;
Sudden drop in blood pressure or dehydration which may inhibit blood to the brain causing lightheadedness.
Dizziness may be accompanied by various disorders such as: allergies, hypoglycemia, common cold, fever, diarrhea, vomiting or flu.
Loss of balance or spinning sensation may be related to a malfunction in at least two of three main organs that contribute to our sense of balance: inner ears, eyes or the nervous system.
Serious disorders that may cause dizziness are: stroke, heart attack, severe drop in blood pressure.
You can try some easy remedies at home like;
Enhance maintaining balance by learning exercises from a trained physiotherapist ,avoid stressful events , develop a regular sleep pattern
You should avoid diet drinks,tobacco,caffeine,take plenty of water to ensure the blood pressure does not drop due to exercise, high stress activities and hot climate.
