Why Am I Feeling Dizziness And Headache And Many Times My Head Spin?
Hi, I'm 25 female and have been having the worst dizziness which has gotten worse over the last 4 days. I have had on and off headaches and the left side of my tongue randomly goes numb. I lose my balance quite a bit and feel too dizzy to drive. It doesn't matter If I am sitting or standing, my head spins and my vision is sometimes blurry. I can't concentrate or remember like normal so that concerns me. I had a baby 9 months ago and stopped breastfeeding 2 months ago and have yet to regain a period. Not sure if that matters or not. Please help!:)
