hello i am 18 and have just moved to ottawa to prepare to move in to university residence, i think i might be overwhelmed and this may be causing the following symptoms..i have been feeling light headed after standing up from sitting..it only lasts for maybe 5 seconds and then goes away...also recently i have noticed my right ear feels plugged or something for 30 minutes at a time and then goes away..also i have been feeling dizzy after going on the elevator.... as well, recently i have been experiancing headaches around my jawline after chewing gum..
thanks lee

I get the same dizzy feeling almost daily.  I have a history of dehydration, so that is my guess on that.  I drank a lot of water, but they said I was flushing my electrolytes.  So as far as that, make sure you have some gatorade or something so that you don't black out or pass out from the dizziness.  The jaw issue may be stress related.  I had similar issues with my jaw, and it was caused from grinding my teeth at night due to stress.  Try to relax a little and enjoy your move :)
