What Causes Sudden Lightheadedness?
My friends dad woke up this morning light headed and couldn t get his left leg to work. She went home (took about 3 hours) and said he is still light headed and dragging his left leg when he walks, but was able to talk with her and eat lunch. They are not able to get into the doctor until 4 pm today (another 1.5 hrs). Do you think they are OK to wait this long? He is in his 80s.
