What Causes Dizziness?

I have been experiencing episodic light headedness and sudden feelings of being anesthetized. I have had a full blood work done, all normal. I have no loss of balance and or coordination. These episodes are not accompanied by any pain or feeling of fatigue. It seems to happen when I am sitting or standing still and made better by getting up and moving around. These episodes have happened while driving, and it comes on out of nowhere, feeling perfectly fine just prior to. My doctors don t know what it is, but have ruled out a lot that they feel it is not. I have been referred to a neurologist. I am at a loss as to what can be causing these episodes or how to manage or eliminate them. HELP!

Hello.
Thank you for the question.
I understand your concern.
In my opinion there is nothing to worry about.
It seems all psychological stress. The fact that you get better just moving around and don't have other troubles is in favor of this diagnosis.
Just don't think about it any more.
I would recommend you take Alprazolam 0.25 twice daily for a week . You will feel better.
If you don't you may need an EEG to rule out a rare type of partial epilepsy.
Hope to have been helpful.
Thank you for using HCM .
Best wishes Dr.Abaz
