Answers:
Hey girl !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. you sound really panicked luv !.!.!.!.!.!. please don't panic my sweet frient !.!.!.!.!.!.!. headaches and dizzy spells could indicate iron deficiency!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. nasty nasty slapping headaches too if you're iron deficient !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.Iron deficiency anemia will produce symptoms such as excessive feelings of being cold, fatigue and exhaustion, nasty nasty headaches, paleness of skin, dizzy and fainting spells, irritability and moodiness !.!.!.!. are you eating enough iron rich foods!?!?

A good way to check if you have iron deficiency anemia is to look at the coloring of the inner lid of your bottom eyelid !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. pasty and white means that you are anemic, rich and red is healthy and not anemic

Please ensure that you are also getting enough calcium, vitamin D (known as the sunshine vitamin) and vitamins B6 and B12 as all these are needed for the effective assimilation of iron in your body !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. take a multi B complex supplement containing all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12 and folate etc!.!.!.!. particularly if you are vegegtarian or lactose intolerant !.!.!.!. they all work best as a group!.!.!.!. the quality of vitamins isn't all the same though !.!.!.!.!. Blackmores does a good one or simply ask the advice of the resident naturopath at your local health food store !.!.!.!.!.!.!. don't buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually but rather as a whole group unless a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath specifically tells you to do so!.

If you are eating enough iron rich foods such as red meat, egg yolks, organic nuts, beans, asparagus, leafy and green vegies and oatmeal and are still dizzy and headachy then your iron absorption is likely being inhibited by either a lack of B vitamins, calcium or vitamin D !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. oh, drinking coffee or tea within an hour of eating iron rich foods will inhibit iron's absorption and eating vitamin C rich foods with iron rich foods will enhance iron's absorption!.

Failing that it could simply be that you are dehydrated !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. dehydration will produce dizzy spells, headaches and migraines, irritability and moodiness, constipation, puffyness anywhere in your body like puffy bags under your eyes !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. ditch the sodas, pop soft drinks and alcohol if you drink any and cut right back on coffee and tea if you drink any too as they'll all dehydrate you terribly!.

If you also suffer with insomnia, achy bones, irritability and moodiness, digestive issues such as bloating and constipation then these are all symptoms of calcium deficiency !.!.!.!.!.!.!. if you don't like drinking milk try drinking some organic rice milk fortified with calcium or eat more leafy and green vegies (rich in calcium) and eat more fresh fruit (also rich in calcium)!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. try eating a carrott!.!.!.!.!.!. they are rich in calcium and a natural way to bust a headache!.

Foods rich in magnesium will also help to alleviate headaches and migraines, nervous tension, stress, muscle twitching, constipation and help to lower high blood pressure !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. leafy and green vegies again!.!.!.!.!. also wholegrain breads and cereals like rice and fresh fish like tuna, sardines and salmon are rich in magnesium!.

drink more fresh filtered water my sweet friend !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. at least 8 glasses daily!.

sheesh, sorry i rat on so much mate but i've been unable to get on my 360 for more than a few weeks and i've been worried about your stress !.!.!.!.!.!.!. thank you for asking the question mate !.!.!.!.!.!. now i know you'll be o!.k!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. please do take a B complex because the B vitamins will help you deal with the daily stress of just living we are all exposed to at some level or another and that's half the battle isn't it!.!.!.!.!.!.!.;0)

If your headaches and dizzy spells persist after eliminating all the nutritional and hydration possibilities (which i doubt) please go and get yourself fully assessed by a naturopath or nutritionally oriented physician!.

Strokes often have no "signs" before they actually happen!.
The symptoms of an actual stroke include dizziness, numbness on one side of the body, confusion, being unable to speak, and blindness in one eye!. If you experience any combination of these, go to an E!.R!. immediately!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've experienced similar things, but thank goodness it's only due to stress!. I would probably say you're not sleeping enough and therefore recommend you get some much needed rest ASAP!.
However, if you do think it's more serious than that, then you should go to the ER!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

insurance or not, go see a doc!.
don't have money!?
Go to the ER

They won't charge up front (in the us), if it shows on your credit, pay a little (anything) and it will be removed from your credit history!. its different than all the other credit charges!. because its a matter of life or death


don't be scared!. it won't help!.

Important things to consider!.

how old are you
how much do you weight
have you had head trauma
do you smoke
do you do drugs
how much do you drink!.
does this run in the family !.


if you're young, (under 28),
have had no head truma,
it doesn't run in the family,
and don't do hard drugs

then your probably fine!. see a doc just to check your blood status!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Please go and get checked by a doctor!. Strokes can happen with no warning!. Whatever is going on with you needs to be diagnosed and treated!.
