what are the cause of my dizzy spells?

fishmonkey · 02.23.2007, 09:34 AM

fuckin hell, this place is boring as shite today so i'm roping yee all into this one...

I'm not going to a doctor because you go in with one thing wrong with you and come out with a list of things that are really wrong with you - so with yr help i wanna self-diagnose myself..

What's causing these dizzy spells i am getting on and off?
i got one 5 minutes ago and another while watching Home and Away on my lunch break an hour ago..

(feel free to hijack this thread for yr own self-diagnostics..)

ALIEN ANAL · 02.23.2007, 09:35 AM

what are you up to in home and away?

foxforce5 · 02.23.2007, 09:36 AM

It might have something to do with your recently missing arm. Remember that?

Are you anemic?That is a possible cause as dizzy spells occur when your body lacks in iron.It could be that or it could be not.

ahh yeah i do, although i think it was my uncles arm?
nahh its not that.

screamingskull · 02.23.2007, 09:37 AM

it could be your diet?, or any drugs you are taking / or have taken in the past. I suffer from Anxiety attacks about 2-3 times a day, and caffiene makes this much much worse, so you should look at what you are eating/drinking/taking.

thank you Screamingskull and you Porkmarras..

yes i do think maybe it has something to do with my diet, i cant stop eating shite really and my coffee intake is kinda up the walls.

It's probably nothing. I had a major dizzy spell after being hunched over for 10 minutes flipping through boxes of record that were on the floor. When I stood up I got a massive headrush which was actually quite nice and lasted for longer than usual.

Iain · 02.23.2007, 09:42 AM

Low blood pressure maybe?

Iain · 02.23.2007, 09:42 AM

Huh...when I first tried to reply to my first post it said I couldn't post another message within 15 seconds of the first and to wait 3 seconds before I hit 'quick reply' again. Sort of defeats the point of 'quick reply' doesn't it?

foxforce5 · 02.23.2007, 09:43 AM

Auto-asphixiation could be the culprit. You did mention you were "roping us into" this one.

do you want to be spoilt? it might make you more dizzy :P

Fishmonkey - Stop playing on the roundabout for so long.

Alian Anal - What about Neighbours? What's going on in Neighbours?

Bunbury · 02.23.2007, 10:52 AM

just so you know,
im surrounded by my fathers medical texts (and mothers cook books, the pleasures of cooking is right beside human physiology, its like the bookcase of a cannibal) and currently have the Fundamentals of Clinical Hematology by Leavell and Thorup in my lap as we speak.

if it is DIEt induced anemia, which i doubt it is, (im a doctor you know [Ref. "Strangelove" in the warhol thread]) it may be due to:

1. Nutritional Deficiency--In adults lack of folic acid might be expected to produce anemia.

2. Faulty DIEt- yr hardly a biafrin my dear so we can just skip this.

3. Defective Absorption-- Defective gastric function & the faliure to secrete the intrinsic factor that is essential for the normal absorption of vitamin b12.

4.Excessive demands for erythropoiesis/bone marrow faliure/disease/drugs and or chemicals ETC....

Bunbury · 02.23.2007, 10:55 AM

oh and to the pill popers:
i also have the 2005 ed. of The Compendium of Pharmaceuticals and Specialties.

floatingslowly · 02.23.2007, 11:00 AM

if you drink too much coffee (which I do) or alcohol (I could use more) you can become dehydrated fairly easily.

that would cause you to have dizzy spells.

but what do I know? I'm not a doctor, I just play one on the intardnet.
