What is causing my girlfriend to feel like she is going to pass out?

Q. Every so often my girlfriend feels like this, but she told me that she almost got in an accident today and it really is worrying me. She is 23 and healthy (and def not pregnant). This is what she just told me "ok so everything is normal, i get a sudden headache right behind my eyes, feels like a string pulling behind my eyes, my stomach gets very queasy , i could throw up, my vision goes blurry/ i cant focus" and "my head is spinning , i get the feeling i am going to pass out/am falling asleep" all of this extremely sudden. if i move it gets very bad, no turning head/ looking up or down"

Her mother just got diagnosed with a Vitamin B deficiency, but my girlfriend's symptoms don't match with what I have found online concerning that.

Please, if anyone knows I would really appreciate it. She is really stubborn and won't go to the hospital. If she does, what kind of tests should she get done?
Also, she had this happen to her about 4 years ago in college. She had a seizure, was rushed to the hospital and the doctors found nothing. They just told her to eat 3 square meals a day.

A. Well, for one thing... the LAST thing she needs is a secondhand diagnosis on Answers.

Her condition could be caused by any number of things. She needs to see doctor... and the sooner the better... because it's not going to get any better.

I have an idea what it may be, but it would scare the hell out of you if I told you.

Have her see a doctor... seriously.!

How do I convince my parents to take me to the doctor for a vitamin B deficiency test?
Q. My parents don't really take me seriously but I have a lot of the symptoms and I rarely eat meat. I have heart palpitations, fatigue, exhaustion, nervousness, restlessness, tingling in my legs and feet, soreness, crawling sensation in my leg muscles when I sit, and recently my slow word recall has worsened. Also, I run track and I know my shoes fit properly, but when I run my toes become numb. Do you have any suggestions on how I can convince my parents I'm not just making things up?

A. Just tell them you're having all these symptoms, and ask if they'll take you to a doctor. Don't say you want a vitamin b deficiency test. Parents and dr.'s hate it when you diagnose yourself.


Are Cold hands and feet related to Vitamin B Deficiency?
Q. I had my blood taken because my hands and feet are always cold, and my doctor says that I lacked glutamate, antioxidants and severely lack Vitamin B. Can the my deficiency of Vitamin B be the cause because my doctor says it is so I'm taking B supplements with Multivitamins and a Vitamin B shot every week. So could it really be the cause because I don't get how Vitamin B is linked to cold hands and feet.

A. Peripheral vascular disease or peripheral artery disease can have an association with vitamin B deficiency - often Vitamin B12, your symptoms also sound like Raynaud's syndrome which is not usually associated with B deficiency.

You would probably be better off taking the best quality of each nutritional supplement rather than a multivitamin as some of the ingredients work in synergy but others should not be taken within the same 45 minute time frame. For example vitamin E complex, CoQ10, Vitamin C complex can be taken together and function well as powerful antioxidants.

Are you getting a B12 shot or a B complex shot (not familiar with that one)

Are you sure your doctor said you lacked glutamate and not glutathione, a very powerful anti-oxidant? Low Glutatione levels are not unusual in people with a serious disease. B complex is necessary for Glutathione function so the Vit B complex shots would make sense. Vitamin B6 helps convert the precursors to the protein Glutathione.

Other supplements which might help include alpha lipoic acid and.n-acetylcysteine (NAC) which can sometimes be found in one capsule. Glutathione can be taken by injection - very expensive - or sublingually - some people are intolerant of this method because the feel a burning sign. Taken in swallowed pill form, glutatione is broken down before it can be assimilated and is worthless. That is why you need the precursors or their aides.

At first I thought Raynaud's syndrome but the deficiencies dont jibe.

I hope this helps - please remember that many multivitamins don't deliver the best form of the nutritional supplement you need.

In the meanwhile be are that there are special gloves and probably socks for Raynaud's syndrome which also features cold hands and feet.
