I've got a family history of Anemia so I assumed the light headed-ness was down to that but sometimes it can get so bad that I lost my vision for a few minutes and the most painful headache. The only way i can describe the way my vision goes is you know when your TV goes fuzzy? and its all white and black dots flickering about?
I told my Mum about it and she said there was nothing wrong with me so I've never been to the doctors about it
do you get anything along those lines too?

I had to double check that i hadnt posted this
I havent been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat, but ive self diagnosed that i do

... although, it strangely has never really worried me, as it will only become noticeable sporadically... and when it does, it feels like its in my mouth and throat and its all fluttery. Like you, i have to sit down also, but it only lasts for a few seconds and i dont get short of breath or anything, its just.... well.... weird.
The fact that yours is happening to you more often than not, causes concern. Like CW said, 4 years is a long time and things may have changed, so get checked out.
It will leave you lightheaded, as your heart isnt working to the best of its ability, and therefore, not pumping the blood to where you need it most.
Do you exercise? If so, was it is like then?
Spelling error...
*.....If so, WHAT is it like then? Not, was it is like then
