Have Been Feeling Sick, Dizzy, Headache, Eyes Itchy. What Could Be Happening?
Hi, for the past 2 days I've been feeling sick and dizzy. It all started when I was in college during my lesson. I broke out into a cold swear and my head started feeling all heavy. Then my head started banging and I started feeling sick. All day my eyes were itchy because of my lenses, I felt as if something was stuck in them so the discomfort lasted all day until I was able to go home and take them out. Anyway, I left college and slowly walked to the bus stop. I wasn't able to walk in a straight line and I felt as if I was about to pass out, my head was heavy. I come home and try and sleep it off but it's still the same. The sickness has gone but I still feel dizzy and my eyes hurt. During the time I was in college I was hydrated throughout the day, I had a breakfast and lunch at 12.00. I started feeling sick at about 3.20. Thank you.

Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Dizziness is vague term - unsteadiness. If there is definite sense of rotation, it is vertigo.
If it is from getting up from bed, it may be from postural hypo-tension.. Did you check your BP?
It can be from anaemia – what is your haemoglobin?
Has an ECG been done? - You have not stated your age, gender, personal habits, family history or co-morbidities
The body's balancing mechanism is in the inner ear. An ENT (Ear Nose Throat) specialist is the one to see - especially in the presence of tinnitus. They have special tests to confirm or exclude the contribution of the ear.
If there are no clues, you have to be followed up by a neurologist.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
