Dizzyness and Numbness Postpartum

Dear Ask The Doctor: I have had this accur since I was roughly 13, however I am now 22 and in the past few weeks it has increased. Sometimes when I stand up, but also after I have been standing for a while.. all of a sudden my head will feel pressure, my vision goes black with fuzzy black spots that fill my vision, and I get so dizzy I have to grab something or sit on the floor. I have never fully passed out from this and it usually only lasts 5 seconds. this last one when it had stopped my fingure tips were sort of numb and tingly on my right had.....

Dear Skye: Since you mentioned you have previously given birth, it is possible you have anemia. Are you taking multivitamins? Women even after giving birth, especially those who are breastfeeding, should take Multivitamins. You may have vitamin deficiencies (Vit B deificiency canc cause numbness) but better yet, consult your doctor so tests can be done and start Multivitamins with Iron now. I hope this helps.
