Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have light headedness on using tanning bed . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like benign paroxysmal positional vertigo , infection in ear , meniere's disease , migraine , blood pressure variation , medications side effects and anxiety disorders . Other reasons can be low iron and sugar level in blood like in diabetic condition . I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order blood test , posturography , ECG , because such symptoms can also occur as a symptoms of heart disease and examination with otoscope . Doctor may prescribe antiemetic drug , antibiotics like gentamicin , anti allergic ,may refer you to cardiologist or endocrinologist for diabetic condition . For now avoid bending forward and drink green tea thrice a day . Also do light exercises like brisk walk and yoga along with meditation .

Hope your concern has been resolved.
