Health question..

I've noticed recently I have random dizzy spells. They last for about 5 minutes, and nothing really comes from it other than a weird dizzy feeling (like when you get the drunk spins). They probably happen once a day, or every other day, but sometimes happen twice in one day. I get occasional headaches too, but nothing too crazy. I refuse to consult Dr. Google because he will obviously tell me I have a brain tumor and am dying.

 Any thoughts?

I get those - my blood pressure is usually low but the dizzy gets worse when I need to get more iron in my system.  Also dehydration and stress make it worse.

Vertigo?  You should probably contact your PCP to make sure!  I hope that you feel better soon.

Are you eating often enough and drinking enough water?

I thought vertigo too, just heard a story about it on NPR. I think this can be lots of very fixable things - dehydration, anemia, blood sugar levels, blood pressure - I would go to the (real) doctor, like pp said and get it checked out!

It could be dehydration, blood sugar issue, vertigo.  Try drinking more water & eating a little more (esp. protein) today & see how you feel.

Thanks for the advice!

I was anemic when I was pregnant and borderline before and after so that may be a cause too! I'll take you alls advice and see how I feel the next few days.

Or it could be low salt.  I know that sounds very weird but I had a low salt count in my blood and it was causing me to be dizzy and sometimes faint.  You really should see your doctor.
