Dizziness, Lightheaded, Pain In Head, Have Depression. Any Ideas?
Hi I used to get rly bad dzzy spells but they stopped eventually. anyway lately ive been feeling lightheaded and dizzy but ive also been getting sharp pains in the head for 1 and 1/2 to 2 yrs. im not rly sure why - i do suffer from depression and was on medication which i stopped taking a few weeks back. Also im in the middle of my A level exams - got 1 left - so i was wondering if this could be caused by stress or could there be something else? Im only 18 (im female) and im a bit worried about this. so any ideas?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having dizziness, light headedness and headache and you are having exams.
These symptoms indicate primary headaches like cluster headache or tension headache.
The treatment in the acute episode is by use of analgesic and antiinflammatory drugs.
The specific treatment is by treatment of the underlying cause.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
