What Can Be The Cause Of Headaches, Muscle Pain, Double Vision, Twitching In Eyes And Dizziness?
I have been having very back muscle pain behind my left should blade and up into my neck. This has been going on for months. I have been having a lot of headaches. My Right eye lid has been twitching on an off for over a week now and the other night, my right eye suddenly became crossed. It felt like something was pulling my eye. I had double vision and became very dizzy. This lasted for about 5 minutes and I was dizzy and unable to sit up for about half an hour. I felt fine after that. Except I was all of a sudden very tired and I craved salt. I don t know if the last part had anything to do with what happened or not. Thanks.

Hello,
The symptoms which have mentioned in the history like dizziness for 5 minutes, headache, double vision.... all indicate transient ischemic attack.
Transient ischemic attack can be because of reduced blood supply to brain or because of reduced glucose supply as a result of hypoglycemia.
If these symptoms are not because of hypoglycemia i.e. not taking food or skipping food, then this requires evaluation by a physician doctor to find out the underlying cause and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult physician for further examination.
Thank you
