light headed

[Intrepidguy51]

I get light headed, come quickly and goes as fast, but leaves me very concerned

[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi! You need to get examined to rule out a few things such as low blood pressure, low testosterone, postural hypotension, cervical spinal nerve compression, hypoglycemia, severe anemia, an underactive thyroid (called hypothyroidism), overactive thyroid (called hyperthyroidism), adrenal insufficiency (called Addison's disease), GERD, and internal ear infections.
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 your PCP to run tests and examination to clinch a diagnosis. Take care!

Is there something that brings on the lightheaded feeling?

That used to happen to me, most often it happens when you are dehydrated. It could be that, or that you possibly have an iron deficiency. Both are very easy fixes.

sounds just like hunger. if your sleeping quite late as well or on a computer for too long, try drinking more water/exercise or cut down on alcohol intake if it occurs after a feed of drink

As a nurse, I would be curious as to what your blood pressure is when these episodes occur.  I would also wonder what your blood sugar is.  Also a pulse during episode can tell   a great deal too.  I would also, let your Dr. know this, he may want to see you!!
