Is Light Headedness Common With Endo?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

Hello,

I am very recently diagnosed (under a week ago). I am wondering if light headedness is a common symptom and feeling quite faint? I have 2 cysts and they are quite large. I am seeing a gyno next week and expecting she will recommend surgery. I eat very healthy and drink enough, but do feel quite dizzy all the time. I am wondering if this is possibly feeling quite anxious about it also.

Thanks so much :) Hugs to all.

I just got diagnosed as well. For me personally, i do get very lightheaded. However, my birthcontrol recently got switched in hopes to help the symptoms, so my hormones are all over the place. Im not sure if that has anything to do with it. Best of luck to you!

Thank you! Previous birth control switches definitely had that impact on me as well.

I'm glad that the results were normal and hope you get some answers.

Thank you. :) My heart rate is good and my blood tests were all normal as well. I am thinking it may be me freaking out a little in addition to possibly the cysts growing in size and causing me pain.

Welcome to EndoTeam. I don't have that symptom, but I have heard of others having it. Have you asked your doc? It's also common for EndoWarriors to have autoimmune diseases and some can cause lightheadedness, so ask about that. Lastly, a few other users here have POTS, which causes your heart rate to go really high at inappropriate times, so I believe lightheadedness is one of the symptoms.
