Question: I feel super dizzy, lightheaded, feel the constant need to go to sleep. my whole left side hurts, from my jaw, down my arm to my hand, feels like tingling or numb,. could this be from super bad allergies? I'm also on blood thinners but everything is fine, it's not a PE, so they say... what could it be?:/
