Sporadic Bouts Of Lightheadedness. Reason?

Hi, I've been experiencing sporadic bouts of what I might call "lightheadedness," though I'm not sure that's completely accurate. It occurs for a few seconds at a time, multiple times in a day, but rarely more than 1 day a month. It feels more like my mind could just float away from my body, like I've lost some sort of mental seat belt. I do not get traditionally dizzy, nor do I experience sweating or nausea. The mental feeling is the only symptom I am aware of. Today, it has occurred both while sitting and while walking, both before and after lunch.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

Light headedness may not necessarily be due to lack of mental health. It may be due to a variety of causes such as ear tube problem, flu induced or sinus infection etc.

Try steam inhalation four times a day for three days and if no improvement, consult your GP for further advice.

Wish you speedy recovery.
