I have noticed for the past month or so that I get dizzy spells.  Has anyone else experienced this?

it's either high blood pressure or an iron deficiency. You should also check and see if it's a low grade ear infection...something like that can throw off your equilibrium and make you dizzy during extreme motions(which include bending over and rolling over)...\n\ngood luck!

I get them once in awhile and for me, I get really short of breath and start to hyperventalate (spelling).  I feel like the room is spinning sometimes and I get dizzy.  Sometimes you can feel like everyone is staring at you.  It is really hard to describe as each person has their own reactions.  But that is pretty much the jist of it all.

If you can't see your family Dr. until Monday, I'd recommend going to a 24 hour clinic or emergency room.  If the dizziness is so severe that the accompanying nausea has prevented you from getting any hydration or nutrition, you need to get stabilized ASAP.  \n\nIf the dizziness is a spinning sensation (vertigo), it's probably your inner ear- again a number of things can cause it; a viral or bacterial infection of the inner or middle ear, a rupture in an inner ear membrane that leads to Meniere's disease, or loose particles within the inner ear that cause Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. Even neurological problems like Migraine headaches and strokes can cause dizziness and balance problems.\n\nBe sure to provide as many details as you can to help pinpoint the cause. Include: when did the symptoms start? Did you have any other symptoms related to the dizziness (headache, ringing or other noises in the ear [tinnitus], pressure or pain in the ear/s, nausea/vomiting, visual changes, etc.)? Did you have any prescription changes in the month preceding the initial onset? Had you been ill in the month preceding the initial onset? How long do the episodes last? During an episode, what does the "dizziness" really feel like? Is there anything that seems to trigger or signal an episode? Is there anything you can do that seems to help you feel better? Does anyone else in your family history have similar symptoms? Have you ever had similar symptoms, or a history of ear problems before?\n\nDizziness and nausea is like a headache or fever -- it's a vague symptom, and getting a detailed case history is really the best way to narrow down options and select diagnostic tests.  But don't wait any longer to get checked out, because the sooner it gets properly diagnosed and treated, the better your chances for a complete recovery.

I have that problem too. I'd like to know why I feel dizzy in the mornings and then really alert at night. All this while I just take it that I'm just not a morning person but thats not enough.\n\nCome to think of it, I attribute my alertness at night to drinking tea or coffee. And because we end up sleeping late, so we get sleepy in the morning.

Please see your doctor. There are many disorders that can cause this i.e. low/high blood sugar, blood pressure, vertigo and many, many more. You need to have some blood tests and evaluation by a professional.

Perhaps you have an inner ear infection which can cause dizziness and if you don't get it checked may cause you to not be able to stand at all. It is a relatively common thing and is cured with antibiotics but I would let your physician check you out.

I understand what you're going through as the same thing happened to me. I think it may be depression from the shock of what happened to you.\n\nI passed out on a night out with friends and since then I've been tired, unmotivated and just constantly dizzy and lethargic.\n\nI've been to them all Neurologist, etc. They found nothing and made me feel as though I was imagining what was happening to me. They told me I would snap out of it. Yeah right!!!!!!!!!!!\n\nHowever, I've been doing my own research on line and I found out about 'ST. John's Wort' a meal supplement and herbal remedy for mild to moderate depression, which has really got me mentally and physically motivated again.\n\nCheck it out on line yourself.

Ugh, dizziness.  If the dizziness is specifically associated with your period, it could be a secondary side effect of the fibroids.  From what I've seen, PMS can cause just about any nasty thing you can think of to happen to a woman.  Fibroids can certainly aggravate PMS.\n\nHowever, there are dozens of things that can cause dizziness - the most likely target in women is iron deficiency anemia.  So a trip to the doctor is certainly the first step you should take in dealing with this.\n\nLike I said, there are many potential causes of dizziness.  I am sensitive to NO2 - the gas that dentists use to put you out.  I didn't know this until I had some dental work several years ago with a new nitrous happy dentist.  I started having bad dizzy spells and it took a lucky circumstance for me to put the two together.  I was still having occasional dizzy spells for several years after I stopped the dentist from using the nitrous.\n\nSo, if your doctor doesn't find a good reason for your dizziness, start recording when the dizzy spells hit, what you eat, and any uncommon events.  It may help to track down the cause of the dizzy spells.

Possibly.  And it is something that needs to be checked.  We use the same technique in patients that are experiencing a heart attack.  We call it the brady method.  When someone is having a heart attack, we tell them to cough forcefully or to bear down as if to have a large bowel movement.  This coughing process slows the heart rate, which would explain your sudden dizziness.  As for the headaches and the chest pain, that is quite understandable, since you are exerting high amounts of pressure on those muscles.  When you feel the cough spells coming on, see your doc and ask about a cough syrup such as guaiffennisen because one of these days, your coughing episodes may literally cause you to pass out, and if you are driving at the time, well, I don't need to tell you how dangerous that can be.

Depends on the medication. Some can cause chemical imbalances in the brain, while they try to correct another imbalance. They can also cause imbalance of the inner ear and that's a prime cause of dizziness. This is likely a side effect and if it doesn't go away, or is just too strong to live with, you will need to talk to your doctor about making a change.

Dizzyness can be caused be many things.  One of the most common is low blood surgar, the other is being anemic.  If you are passing out completely is could be a seizure.  It sounds like you might just have low blood sugar or could be anemic you should ask your doctor about the symptoms and they can give you a better answer.

could be Hypoglycemia...I had that problem as a kid...I passed out a few times and as a result was tested for both diabetes and hypoglycemia...aka "low blood sugar". I have found that if I eat some candy, drink juice or eat/drink something with sugar in it, the dizziness goes away within minutes and I can go on with my life.
