Starting to worry if something's wrong with me.

I know it may be something that you don't want to do, but going to the doctor would be the only way to know for sure. It's scary when you think that something is wrong, but the fear of not knowing, in my option, is much worse. At least if you go to the doctor then can rule stuff out or develop a plan if it something. Only trained medical personal can really help you. I hope it all turns out well for you!

 

Hi Mailman,

These are things worth asking your doctor about.

I personally get dizzy a bit when standing up. I think it is to do with blood flow adjusting itself.

The headache and nipple ... do ask your doctor and I trust it will be reassuring.

Good luck !

 

I used to have a similar problem (for about 3 weeks) where every time I stood up I would get really dizzy and sometimes even forget where I was. (only lasting for a few seconds)
I think it has something to do with blood pressure. I was told to drink more water and stay away from sugary drinks like soda, and after about a week it got better and now I don't get it anymore.

 

Check with a doctor but sounds very much like blood pressure which can be controlled with tablets but get a check up NOW

 

I think it happens less often now, but sometimes when I stand up, my vision blacks out and I get dizzy. Lasts for a few seconds, then I'm good. But yeah, I think it used to happen more often in the past, but it's now only sometimes/rarely. It's been happening for years now. It hasn't really been an issue for me and I always get all my nutrients/water and everything I need so...

And I remember looking it up in a book early on, and I think it's like postural hypo(or hyper?)tension or something.

 

Ok, so let's see how well I can diagnose you. >:-] jkjk I'm not a doctor.

But here's what I can tell you with 100% certitude: none of these things are life-threatening or you'd be dead by now.

And here's what I can tell you with 99% certitude: the dizziness when standing up is called orthostatic hypotention, or basically a fancy way of saying that you get low blood pressure when you change body position because the blood pools in your extremities and your blood pressure isn't strong enough to push it back up to your brain fast enough. I have it, and I even got a seizure from it once, but it's not dangerous. Do you have low blood pressure? Are you underweight, or very skinny (frequent cause of low BP)? Do you drink enough water? Is it very hot where you are right now? These are all things that can affect it, at least for me.

The head shaking thing, well my totally-not-scientific hypothesis is that your brain is too small and when you shake your head, it flies around and hits your skull. Okay, no, I'm sure there's a better explanation for it but I don't have it.

The nipple thing, maybe you're growing a single breast and it's taking a very long time? Haha jkjk, but once again, if you've always had it, it surely isn't very serious.

So, basically, I'd say get yourself to a doctor, but in the meantime, don't worry too much because as I said before, you wouldn't be posting here it were serious. Good luck and let us know what the doctor says!

 

lol that got me :lol:
