What Causes Lightheadedness And Feeling Of Fainting?

default
Posted on Sat, 21 Jun 2014
Question: I get lite headed and think Im going to pass out at times. I can feel blood pressure rise in my head/face when it happens. I had a recent MRI, CAT scan, and blood test. Nothing found. I have lower back (belt line) nerve issue that I feel in my leg at times but Im told its not related. My stool has not been correct lately. I get an upset stomach easily. Can the stomach issue and/or nerve issue be related to my lite-headed feeling? Thank you

Various symptoms

Detailed Answer:
Hello.Delighted to be able to help.
For diagnosis and treatment of lower back-leg pain you should be examined by a Neurosurgeon(perhaps he will request a lower back MRI).
Feeling going to pass out (with MRI, CAT scan, and blood test normal), stool problems and upset stomach easily, Stress-Anxiety is a possible diagnosis.
Do you have lately stress in your family life or work?.
Drugs as Lorazepam or Alprazolam are widely used in the treatment of Stress-Anxiety.
Please go to your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and for prescription.
I Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions, I will be happy to help.If you do not have any clarifications, please don’t forget to evaluate my answer.I wish you good health.
