I've been feeling kind of dizzy lately ...

[Luanne]

Especially when I am at work (and I have a job where I stand the entire time I am there ... except when on break). I wonder what is causing it. :(

The first thoughts that went through my head were:
1. Low blood sugar
2. dehydration... especially if you've had a cold or anything recently
3. could you be pregnant?

I had dizziness related to TMJ last year (along with headaches, neckaches, etc.) Could it be that? Do you grind your teeth at night?

Otherwise I'd tend to think it was blood pressure related.

Also could be an inner ear thing. Have you been sick at all?

to early February. It started out as a sinus infection and eventually became an upper respiratory infection. I have been feeling fine though. I'm just still dizzy. I can't even seem to remember if I stopped being dizzy after being sick for the two and half months.

Is there anything you know of that I can do to help this?

With the sinus problems etc. it sounds like it could be an inner ear problem - maybe even an inner ear infection (I've had them before). One caveat though - I went into the dr. a few months ago positive that I had an inner ear infection - my ear actually hurt and I was dizzy all the time. I was kind of embarrassed when he looked in my ears and told me that my ears were impacted with wax! He irrigated the ear (you can do it yourself with a bulb syringe (the blue kind you use on baby's noses), a little bowl of warm water and a towel to catch the drips. Voila! No more dizziness!

I get ear infections that make me dizzy. I find that taking Benadryl helps. I only take it at night as it makes me sleepy, which doesn't go well with dizzy.
