Dizziness, light headed
Does anyone experience dizziness or light headedness? For me it feels like all the blood is rushing from my head or a “whoosh,” idk. It’s so hard to explain but extremely frustrating because I feel like no one gets it. It’s not vertigo. Curious if I’m alone in feeling this symptom
Hi
, ugh so sorry you're dealing with the light headedness. I'd definitely say this is pretty common from other's that i've spoken with. Do you also get brain fog? - - Jada (neuromyelitis-optica.net team member) thank u for responding I’m sorry I am just seeing this. I went through a rough patch mentally and I’m still working through it. This page is so helpful and makes me feel like there is hope.
I get this a lot, sometimes its due to brain lesions or deficiencies like low iron.
I didn’t think about the low iron. I was put on supplements but those made me so nauseous. Thank u for responding, it’s nice to know that you’re not alone.
yes I get light-headed and dizzy spells a lot I always somehow get that swooshing feeling at night it's scary. I was just explaining this feeling to my sister a couple of days ago. I really do hate all these sensations in my brain now they wake out my sleep at times yes mine happens most often at night too. But sometimes it can be out of nowhere.
yes I definitely get this frequently. I actually pass out frequently from it oh no. I only passed out when I had my initial episode, prior to diagnosis. Please be safe and thank you so much for sharing
