Diziness when talking to people
Hi,
I have noticed that, for the last few months, when I am standing up having a conversation with a group of people, I will all of a sudden feel like I'm about to faint. It not happens every single time I am talking to a group of people. I am becoming worried because today I feel like I came so close to fainting. I always have to grab onto something or lean against something, which I try to do so that it looks natural, so that no one knows I feel like I'm going to faint.
I would say it's anxiety, but I never feel nervous, and it happens when talking to people I am very close to, and talking to strangers. I don't have any other signs of anxiety, just feel like I'm about to faint.
I don't know if this is related to my driving problem or not. I have not driven since January b/c everything is distorted when I drive and it feels like my brain can't keep up with my eyes. It seems like my brain is not censoring out the things in my peripheral vision, so that the motion is magnified by 100, which makes my brain feel like it's going to shut down. It also feels kind of like a feather is tickling my brain. (Weird, I know...)
Not sure if these problems are related or not. If anyone has any ideas PLEASE HELP. I am beginning to lose hope.
I am a 28 year old female in good health. I exercise, eat well, and the only med. I'm on is birth control.

Hi,
It could be due to social anxiety. Do you have the same symptoms when you are sitting and talking to people or does it happen only when you stand up?
If it occurs only on standing it could be postural hypotension. This is a condition where sudden fall in BP occurs when standing suddenly from a sitting posture.
The person feels dizzy and light headed and may even faint.
Regular exercise of the calf muscles, elevation of leg above the level of heart when lying down and maintaining fluid intake will help relieve the symptoms. Do keep us posted!

I used to have the same symptoms when writing a check at the grocery store.I would get light headed,Thought it was the neon lights in store. I had high blood pressure. Also discovered I had cateracts. Since you have trouble driving, you might have an eye exam by a eye doctor. I had cateract surgery and now am fine. Good luck
