I have been getting dizzy Right before I would fall asleep at night. That would happen once a month at best for the last 4 years, thought nothing of it. Since then I have been to the ER 3 times, do to waking up in the middle of the night feeling dizzy and anxious? My doctor had me go and get a scope done of my esophigous thinking the acid might be causing me to wake up and found out I had GERD and ringing around my (Esophigitis). They gave me a steroid called Flovent to take for 6 weeks, and also my MD had proscribed me Prilosec 20mg 2x a day that I already had been on for about month and half. I noticed that if I had a beer or two the next day I would feel like I had 20? So I  stopped alcohol,caffein and I would not eat after 7pm due to acid reflux. Two weeks ago I got out of bed in the morning and went to go pee, felt a little dizzy. Then I went to wash my hands and blacked out. The next thing I knew was that my wife was asking me if I was all right. I told her to call 911. They kept me over night, did a ekko of my heart, a cat scan of the brain, a stress test and took lots of blood. Every thing was Negative, by the way I had an MRI of the brain last year and nothing. So the MD at the ER diagnosed me with Panick Attack, and thought the blacking out could be from the flovent? So I stopped the flovent.  So he gave me Proxetine to take. I took that for two days found out my Ins. did not cover that. So they gave me Citoroplam. I took that the next morning the day of my boys big B-Party with a cup of Green tee (caffein) did not know that. and felt like death the whole day. Did not eat or drink the whole day. So I decided to stop caffein all together and stop all the pills thinking they were causing the light headedness. It took a week to feel better. I felt good on Thursday and Friday. So I decided on Saturday AM while I was washing the car I wood have a cup of coffee. I drank 1/2 of it and started getting dizzy and hot flashes. Went inside and felt like fainting. Since then I have been light headed 4 days after??? I'm trying supplements tomorrow and going to give that a try for a couple of weeks. Hopefully that will help? Do you think these meds. could be still running through my body? Its been 4 days off of everything?? Also I notice my synus is always plugged on one side? Sorry for the book I wrote, but does any body have any opinions???

Thank You

Sounds like anxiety to me. I get light headed all the time. Sometimes off balance. lol.
I've came to realize that it's just anxiety, and it doesnt bother me. I find exersise really helps the dizzy spells. Get the adrenaline and the blood flowing. =) Good luck.

Other medications like sedatives will make you feel drowsy and dizzy.

Do you exersise?

I replied on your other thread.

Just an FYI...and this is just a general statement for everyone, not just you....

It is MUCH easier to keep things limited to one thread.  If they are totally different subjects, that is one thing, but most times the topics generally apply to the same situation.

It becomes VERY confusing to try to keep track of more than one thread, and that's how info gets missed.
