Suggest Treatment For Dizziness And Not Getting Oxygen To Brain

I'm 36, only slightly overweight (20-30lbs) and this morning I was woke up because I felt dizzy. It was like I wasn't getting oxygen to my brain. I took a couple deep breaths but it didn't work. I was only getting dizzier. So I check my pulse on my throat and didn't have one, so I did what I usually do, cough a couple times. It worked and as my heart started beating again the dizziness went away.

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

See an ENT specialist / get examined; investigated…Balancing mechanism is in the inner ear.

Postural hypo-tension / anaemia are common

If not, see a neurologist – MRI and/or MRA may be needed

If there are no clues, you have to be investigated by a Cardiologist! EKG / HOLTER (24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring – for arrhythmia) / ECHOcardiogram (for clot) / TMT (Treadmill exercise ECG – for ischemia) / LABORATORY work-up – may all be necessary for further assessment and assistance.
     
The treating doctor may suggest them depending on need, based on his assessment of the situation.
Prognosis is generally excellent in such situations…

Take care
Good luck
