vertigo

 You stood up to quick when you saw AA sudden rush of blood to the head when AA was cracked dizziness took over knees go weak you need to mutter ffs under your breath sit back down to recover.  You'll probably not be able to play for while but you will survive common reaction called Pokeritis.!   If you want this confirmed go see your Doctor.  gl

Foot Note;  Joking aside.  Worth getting your blood pressure checked as low blood pressure is more dangerous than high.

My advice is disregard any diagnosis from this thread and go and seee a doctor.

I typed a long winded post which has dissapeared into the either lol, and I'm not typing it again could be a broad spectrum of things from vertigo to heart issues (I speak from experience at the latter I was fat barsteward and was the reason I stopped playing for 18 months) get to quacks IMO as you obv were concerned at the time enough to post on here ,better safe than sorry is my motto at least you will have peace of mind

Introduction 

Dizziness is a common symptom that’s not usually a sign of anything serious, but should be investigated by a doctor.

The term "dizziness" means different things to different people – some use it to describe feeling lightheaded or off balance, while others use it to describe a feeling that their surroundings are spinning.

Because the symptom is quite vague and can be caused by a wide range of things, it may not always be easy to identify the underlying cause of dizziness.

This page explains what you should do if you feel dizzy for no apparent reason, and outlines the most common causes.

Seeing your GP 

See your GP if you're feeling lightheaded or off balance and you're worried, particularly if you also have other symptoms, such as fainting episodes or headaches.

Your GP will first want to establish exactly what you mean by dizziness, and check that you're not actually describing vertigo – a severe type of dizziness, where you feel your surroundings are spinning or moving.

They’ll also want to know:

• whether the dizziness started for no apparent reason, or if it followed an illness
• whether you have repeated episodes of dizziness and, if so, when you tend to experience these
• how long the dizziness lasts

Dizziness can sometimes be caused by an ear condition. A simple way of distinguishing between ear-related dizziness and dizziness due to other causes is to determine whether it occurs only when you're upright or also when you're lying down.

Dizziness that occurs when you're upright is probably not related to the ear. Dizziness that happens when you're lying down is usually caused by a viral ear infection, which can't be treated with antibiotics.

It’s a good idea to keep a diary of your dizziness, recording when and where you experience the problem, and take it with you to your GP appointment. It's helpful to note:

• what you were doing at the time of your dizziness
• how long it lasted and how bad it was
• whether you had any other symptoms – such as fainting, vomiting, nausea, blurred vision, headache, hearing loss or tinnitus

If you're taking prescription medicine, your GP will probably review this to check whether dizziness is a possible side effect. If necessary, they can prescribe a different medication for you to try.

You may be referred to a specialist for further tests and investigations.

Common causes of dizziness

The most common causes of dizziness are outlined below.

• Labyrinthitis – an inner ear infection that affects your hearing and balance, and can lead to a severe form of dizziness called vertigo.
• Migraine – dizziness may come on before or after the headache, or even without the headache.
• Stress or anxiety – particularly if you tend to hyperventilate (breathe abnormally quickly when resting).
• Low blood sugar level (hypoglycaemia) – which is usually seen in people with diabetes.
• Postural hypotension – a sudden fall in blood pressure when you suddenly sit or stand up, which goes away after lying down. This is more common in older people.
• Dehydration or heat exhaustion – dehydration could be due to not drinking enough during exercise, or illness that causes vomiting, diarrhoea or fever.
• Vertebrobasilar insufficiency – decreased blood flow in the back of the brain, which may be caused by the blood vessels that lead to the brain from the heart being blocked (known as atherosclerosis).

Less common causes of dizziness

Less common causes of dizziness include:

• having a severe illness or condition that affects the whole body
• using recreational drugs or consuming excessive amounts of alcohol (either binge drinking or long-term alcohol misuse)
• certain types of prescription medicine – such as antidepressants or blood pressure medication
• having a heart rhythm problem – such as atrial fibrillation (a fast, irregular heartbeat)
• carbon monoxide poisoning

Yes, doctors.

They will get you on a range of tests , the NHS is the dogs Knap sack. ( Assuming your not in Eastern Block)

I've been watching a lot of Quincy M.E recently, so feel qualified to diagnose this as a subdural haematoma. Or bad AIDS. Can't quite decide...

See your GP. After the 6 minute appointment your GP will probably conclude that you stood up too quickly and tell you not to worry but to come back to them if it recurs.

Do a bit of research on the internet (or read Churchy's post!) if you want to worry yourself stupid but will probably be better informed than some doctors.

p.s. if I come across as sceptical I blame the GP who diagnosed my other half as having 'muscle build up through playing tennis', when she in fact had cancer. She has since changed GP's.

Good luck at docs tomorrow.  Hopefully it's nothing worse than ear infection or smiliar as that can lead to balance/light heads

From your description sounds like it could possibly be an inner ear infection usually referred to as labyrinthitis, or vestibular neuronitis, but a poker forum is definitely not the best place for a diagnosis! Make sure you see your GP ASAP especially in view of the tingling, just to be on the safe side so they can rule out anything serious like heart problems etc.
