Brief Answer: Please refer to the following suggestions... Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXXXX I read your medical history carefully and understood your concerns. One of the reasons for being dizzy could be related to: - feeling anxious or in stress - common cold or flu (If you are having related symptoms) - blood clotting issue. If you are not having the symptoms of common cold or flu; I'd suggest to discuss with your doctor about investigating for blood clotting. If there is no problem with clotting, then, it might be related to having stress or anxiety. All the best! Feel free to ask me other questions you might have! Dr.Alba

Would the clotting be in my legs ? They dont hurt or swelling

Answered by Dr. Dr.Albana Sejdini (18 hours later)

Brief Answer: Blood clotting can be developed in many sites... Detailed Answer: Hi my dear, Clotting could be anywhere. Usually, and what we (medical team) want to prevent is the blood clotting in the lungs or brain. So, you can consult with your physician and to get your lungs checked through a chest X-ray and other tests. All the best! Dr.Alba
