Recently, I have been having headaches and been dizzy/lightheaded. there has been two instances where I got really bad dizzy but most of the time I am just lightheaded, and I have headaches alot. What cuold be the cause of this? It comes and goes, but recently hasn't gone anyhwere. It is starting to worry me. I thought I would get on here first before I go to the doctor. Please reply. Thanks so much.

These symptoms could be a result of stress or underlying illness. It isn't really possible to diagnose this on-line and as the possibilities are many, you really need to see your doctor. However, you should be reassured that the vast majority of people seen with similar symptoms have nothing serious going on.
