This feeling started just last week of april 2016. It was a normal day,my husband and I went to church.The mass was about to end when I suddenly feel lightness or heavyness of my head. It felt like as if I was about to faint.I just drank water and breathed in and out slowly.Good thing it disappeared when we got home.However,since that day, I seemed to be conscious of what I am feeling. I seemed to become sensitive to warm weather and crowded space.Then May 9 came,it was national election day and we were in-charge of the casting and counting of votes (part of our role as teachers).It was a normal day again when I felt like my eyes were tired and strained from looking at the voters list and signing the ballot.I suddenly felt dizzy and lightheaded again.I got nervous and i felt my arms and feet started to get cold,stiff and there was a tingling sensation.The stiffness and coldness felt like it was creeping from my feet,to my stomach,up to my face.I was rushed to the hospital and found out I had a low potassium level. THe doctor allowed me to go home after I felt okay and gave me K-lyte to drink for a week. After the follow up for my potassium,it was back to normal level but the lightheadedness and the feeling of fainting do not disappear until now. I had laboratory tests,had an optha-ENT check,and everything had normal results. The school year has started yet I was not able to come to school because I constantly feel like I am going faint,like my head's light or sometimes heavy. My eyes seem strained whenever I look at wide spaces and if I'm busy doing different tasks. I also noticed that I become sensitive with too dim or too bright light.I cant even look at the television and cellphone like I used to. There were good days and bad days. I also feel lightheaded whenever I'm in the mall or open space. When the weather's hot,I also feel dizzy.I havent been anywhere after that incident last May 9 because it seems like I become nervous everytime i'll go out of the house especially if its a little bit far from home and requires me to ride a jeepney or cab.Being caught in the traffic jam also gives me dizzyness as well as if the cab's running a little bit fast.

Im comfused already.The doctor said im healthy but I know my body and i know its not okay..right now im taking vit.b complex and anti-vertigo which were prescribed by my doctor though i think its not vertigo.Can anyone help me?I need to be back to normal,i need to go back to school and teach,i need to be strong again for my daughter.
