If you start feeling dizzy either sit down or lie down for a while till you feel better...and drink some water or lemonade..it really helps.

The thing I need to do to cure my fainting/dizzy spell:

•book a plane ticket from Sydney to America.
•make sure to get there urgently
•try to find out where the hell that clinic is.
•get an appointment
•probably faint on the way there.
•figure out I’m just dehydrated coz I live in a hot country

*Thanks, helped a lot.*

Lowkey tho I could just call 000 and sort out my stroke or fainting situation out.

Guys this made my health anxiety trigger through the roof. :(

[Zvrpy]

Soooo..

1. Drink water.

2. Hope not to have a stroke.

Or.

3. Drive to hospital while hoping not to get a stroke.

I started feeling dizzy today, coincidentally enough after having a charged lemonade last night. I couldn't fall asleep last night. Then about an hour ago, around 1pm, I tried to take a nap, but everytime I would lay down, my dizziness kept getting worse. I went for a walk, then I walked to Walgreens pharmacy, and bought medicine for dizziness. I got back and I actually felt better. But I shouldn't have done that. I could have passed out in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, I am safe now and I feel better, but everyone's body is different.

[utoobah]

Honestly the comments are more helpful than the video😐 at least I’m not the only one who feels like I’m gonna die

Good thing this is short...coz it wasted 43seconds of my life...but i will take the fluid intake into consideration..

this does not help tell me why exactly why I'm dizzy and light-headed and why I'm so heavy now

[itsaboplmak]

I am 12, and everyday I feel so dizzy, sick, and sore. I can't get up without feeling deathly tired.. This has gone on for quite some time now.

[jewel]

Like I always feel dizzy and light headed😔
Because of my anxiety and also it randomly just happens.

[agent.p.p]

I know lazyness is not an thing ( well it's just you being in bed for an eternity ) but whenever i get out of bed i feel heavy and i fall ( or get dizzy ) I don't know what to do but surely it doesn't feel like a stroke to me

[khanmlbb]

Me:Mom I'm dizzy


Mom:its that damn phone

[bonk]

First of all: I'm 10. Seriously?

second: You are American. I live in England.

I stand up and I get dizzy and black out I can’t see anything and sometimes fall over and sometimes it also happens when I’m walking just normally i hate it and it makes my eyes hurt too so I have to rest for a while afterwards been happening for like 4 months.

[robloxgirlgaming]

I’m a kid But also when I drink water a lot EVREY day but I’m still dizzy my face is always like yellow and my dad said to eat a lot of red things to let it go but it didn’t work.. and I’m always dizzy and I get dizzy so easily.
