Light headed / tingles through body (sort of like electric shock)

Recently I've had some horrible feelings of being light headed & at the same time I get this odd tingle through my whole body.  It's almost like a hot flash without the heat.  I compare it to a very light electric shock.  It's getting to be pretty bad & it's starting to worry me a bit.  I went to the Dr. yesterday & he assumed it was Norovirus because there was an outbreak here in Omaha.  I don't really have the stomach cramps, diarrhea, or nausea that goes along with the Norovirus though.  Has anyone ever experienced something like this?  I was thinking maybe something with an ear infection?  It happens about every 20 to 30 seconds if I'm standing, & it really hits if I stand up from a seated position.  Thanks in advance,

Dennis

I decidedt to look this up today and l am amazed how many people feel like l do. That alone is a releave but your advice is even more motivating. I will go directly to an endocrinologist.

I had these same conditions and needed to have a fusion in the C3  C4 vertebrae.  My discs had worn out, from lifting my disabled daughter for many years.  Maybe you need to have a Ct scan or MRI on your neck.

I believe that prunella has the answer for you. I keep seeing more and more proof that Western medicine does not look outside of the box.  Try a Chinese Medicine practitioner.  They willl not dismiss your symptoms.
