I'm a 16 year old female.
2 days ago a experienced a sort of
'attack'.
I was feeling ill earlier in the day and
decided to go back to bed, when I woke up
I felt very sick and went downstairs and
sat down.
I had a sudden burst of dizziness,
lightheadedness, a feeling of pins and
needles all over, sickness, stomach
cramps. I got up barely and managed to
walk into the living room witht he help of
my mum, and sat down on the sofa as I lost
balance and was finding it hard to walk. I
got 'stars in my eyes', like when you
press down on your eyes, and it got
gradually worse as I walked up the stairs,
and by the time I was at the top I lost
sight for a short amount of time and lost
balance completely.
I sat in the backroom and about 10-20
minutes later I was okay, still
lightheaded with a headache but okay.
I have been having ear aches for a while
and I've recently developed a chest
infection. I was told that maybe it was
caused by something in my ear, or it was
vertigo, but after looking up symptoms I
couldn't find anything about the loss of
sight under 'Vertigo'.
If vertigo is the case, is it anything to
worry about?
Thankyou

Id go get checked out. any possibility
that you are anemic? I think that since
you have been having the ear aches and the
chest infection Perhaps it could be
pneumonia?

Thankyou, I probably will.
I looked up on 'how to know if you are
anemic' and I do have a fair few of the
'symptoms'.
'Once you develop a sore tongue and/or
sores in your mouth, or cessation of
menstruation if you are a woman, anemia is
well-established.'
Sores in mouth, I get those alot. I have
about 2 now, actually.
As its to do with the red blood cells, I
did have a bone infection called
Osteomilitis when I was younger, But if I
remember correctly I think that involved
white blood cells.

well i think that your best bet is to go
in and have yourself checked out. I think
that its better to be safe than sorry.
