12 Answers I am 19 and female. I have never fainted in my life, or ever felt dizzy, not even fron standing for a while, but in the past week, there have been three incidences of having dizzy spells.
One was in class, I was standing but my knees weren't locked. ALl of a sudden, my teacher started spinning! And I had to grab the podium for balance. It was such an odd feeling. However, I hadn't eaten yet, but I never eat breakfast and that has not happened before.
Second, I was at work sitting down. I was on my lunch break, and already consumed food. Sitting down, the same thing happened. The person across from me started spinning.
I called my mom and she insisted I see a doctor, but I said I would wait to see if it happened again. Six days later, today actually, I was sitting in class and my teacher started spinning and I had to rest my head in my hands. However, the affects seemed longer, and although the spinning stopped within seconds like the other ones, I felt funny for about thrity mintues after that. I even ate a banana before class!
I am pretty healthy, I eat healthy and I go to the gym regularly. I'm not on any medication. Thread Summary |

| | | Oh, and I found this on the website...
"Hyperventilation can certainly cause dizzy spells. In this case there is often a feeling of being spaced out and “not with it” Suspect this if the symptom occurs with stress."
I do tend to space out a lot in class haha. | | |  | Expert | |

You need to be seen by a doctor. It is possible that you may have anemia, but only a blood test can confirm or deny that. | | |  | Expert | |

| | | Ok, thank you!
I have never really understood anemia. I have had my blood drawn numerous times and felt fine. | | |  | Expert | |

But you aren't feeling fine now. You may have iron deficient anemia, due to periods.
Having your blood drawn will test for anemia. | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | Low blood sugar can also cause this. I suffered from this when I was younger even if I had eaten, and quickly learned some foods were better than others. I agree with J-9. See a doctor. | | |  | Expert | |

| | | True Angel, but she said it even occurred AFTER she ate, that is why I left that one out. | | |  | New Member | |

| | | So is anemia something that can just pop up out of no where? | | |  | Ultra Member | |

| | | Mine would occur after eating as well. It was particular foods that really regulated it...peanut butter, oranges, etc. | | | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | Add your answer here.
