Question:
What could be the possible causes of this?
Every morning, I wake up refreshed, but I also wake up feeling light headed and slightly dizzy. I do get about 8 hours of sleep a night, but not sure why I'm feeling this way. Anyone have any possible ideas? I was thinking that if this continues, I will go to the doctor. I'm 5' 6" at 170lbs. I'm slightly overweight. Thanks for your help!
Answers:
Have you considered sleep apnea? Look it up, there are many sites out there that can explain much much better than I about the different types of sleep apnea. My husband has it, badly. He described it as a tingly feeling in his fingers and toes, and he got dizzy when he stodd up too fast, those were his first symptoms. He has got the obstructive kind, where he has to sleep with a CPAP, which is a machine that helps keep him breathing normally.
Basically in a nutshell, sleep apnea is where you stop breathing while you are sleeping at night. You dont realize it, since you are asleep. You wake up not feeling rested, you are tired throughtout the day. Your fingers and toes are tingly from the lack of oxygen, and you often have bouts of dizziness as soon as you wake up.
Research it a little, try webMD, if you think you have the symptoms, then I urge you to see a doctor, if it goes untreated, it can lead to major organ failure since your body is not getting the proper amount of oxygen.
You can also search webMD for other symptoms that you might have. Good Luck
