dizziness and cracking knees Posted: 04-21-08 20:53pm
My parents told me that they were going to
take me to a doctor, but I was wondering
if anybody here could answer my question,
or well attempt it anyway.
If I'm relaxed, like sleeping, or laying
on the couch watching tv/reading or
whatever, is it normal to get up and get
lightheaded, feel like you've lost your
balance(but don't fall), or be blinded for
a moment?
When I say blinded its been everything
from slightly to where it fizzles back to
normal after a second to where (this
morning) I'm blind and even looking in the
direction of the light, shaking my head,
nothing brings back my vision until I
blink it off..
I told my parents, they're not sure what
to think.
If I helps any..My knees are bad as well.
Everytime I crouch down or stand up they
crack, and if I'm sitting on the floor or
whereever it hurts to stand up and
sometimes I have to use something to stand
up.
Also I've had weird cases where I get a
pain on my left side..either above my
heart area or between my breast and my
armpit..
I'm not sure if any of its connected, but
I'm just wondering in case its normal,
maybe its just "growing pains" I'm not
sure...I'm only 15 years old.

It could be that you're not eating enough:
low blood sugar can cause dizziness and to
be light headed. You could also be
dehydrated: drink plenty of water. If
not, it could be an ear problem so you
should have that checked too: our balance
is governed by the fluid in our ears. The
blinded part, if not explained by a poor
diet or not eating enough, should be
checked by an optometrist.
I think that your knee problem is
unrelated. Are you a bigger build? If
you are carrying excess weight that could
be the cause. The cracking isn't really a
problem unless it is accompanied by pain.
Then you should see a doctor or a
chiropractor.
