  1. I am an 18 year old male, about 5’5” and 130 lbs. Whenever I stand up from laying down, sitting, crouching, or kneeling I experience extreme coldness in the back and left side of my skull. I also become disoriented and confused, and cannot speak for up to two minutes. Also, my vision goes completely black for up to a minute and I lose muscle control. Oftentimes I will stand up and have to stay put for a minute until I can move again or I almost fall over. Does anyone know what could be wrong?

  4. I just got back from a long trip and my 60 lb puppy started running around the house. I bent over to pick something up and he plowed his head into my forehead full force. I fell back and since then have been dizzy every time I move my head. There is no lump but the spot he hit me is still really sore. It has been almost 24 hours and I am still dizzy. Will this pass or do I need to see a doctor?

What can cause dizziness, partial loss of eyesight, random numbness in the face and arm, and nausea? (20 year old female with PCOS)

In an older patient, these symptoms are signs of a stroke and require immediate medical attention. However, in a younger patient, orthostatic hypotension is the most likely cause. Orthostatic hypotension occurs when a person rises to a standing position from a lying or sitting position and is a result of falling blood pressure. The symptoms are a result of insufficient blood flow to the brain and typically include dizziness, light-headedness, temporary blindness, body dissociation, extremity tingling, or even fainting.

You should be evaluated by your primary care physician for laboratory tests and a physical exam to determine what exactly is causing your symptoms.
