I had a fall about 2 months ago, passed out whilst walking (had a few drinks and a big meal), this lead to a concussion - not too severe - doctor sent me home.
Everything seemed fine for about a month and then suddenly I started having dizzy spells (generally around lunch time), everyday... no history of this prior to the fall. Blood pressure and sugar were fine.
Went to doc - tested pressure/sugar again - perfect.
Sent for an EEG and MRI - both came out clear. Since then I have given it a break and am looking out for symptoms that may be causing this.
I have a LOT of heart palpitations, usually coming a few in a row then nothing for a few hours, these definitely seem to happen just before a dizzy spell and shortness of breath, but I know the feeling of my brain not getting enough oxygen (Slight pins and needles and an encroaching blackness)
I may be giving myself panic attacks .... not sure where to go from here - stopping coffee seems to help the above but no idea why I would all of a sudden become sensitive to caffeine
