What Causes Light Headedness And Dizzy Spells With Insomnia?
Hello, Over the last couple of days, i have been feeling lightheaded and dizzy all of the sudden. I ve never felt like this before. I thought it was because of lack of sleep, but I had a good night of rest. I thought I was dehydrated but i am drinking water. However, this morning I am still feeling light headed. Any ideas? Thank you. Michelle

Hello, Welcome to Ask a doctor services. I have read your query.
Such symptoms arise due to sleep deprivation. Avoid nicotine, caffeine, alcohol and addictions if any. Eat small meals multiple times a day.
Causes of such symptoms are obesity, stress, anxiety, emotional problems or physical problems.
You are suggested to visit a GP, get examined & gets tests done to detect the source of the problem causing you such symptoms. Get the physical problems treated.
You may need the help of a therapist for CBT, Relaxation therapy & stimulation control.
The treating doctor can give you hypnotics or benzodiazepines depending upon the severity of your symptoms. Hope I have answered your question. Take care.
