Lightheadedness - is this due to Acoustic Neuroma?
john twoffer:
My main symptom right now is lightheadedness. When I stand or sit up, I get weaker and weaker and must lay down. I am not dizzy, there are no balance problems right now, but I must lie down or recline in a chair all day pretty much every day.
I have been watching and waiting for 6+ years on the AN.
Can lightheadedness be caused by an acoustic neuroma? Or must it be due to another medical problem?
My AN is small at about 10 x 13 x 9 mm and was 5 x 7 x 9 mm in 2000 (or 7 x 9 x 5, not sure which dimension is which).
Thanks,
John

Hi John, I didn't have any lightheadedness, but that doesn't mean others haven't had it. I had a 2 cm AN removed. Didn't have weakness either.
Best wishes, Nancy

Do you have very low blood-pressure?
Also, another reason something like that can happen if a person isn't getting their nutrition properly. Even if you are eating lots of fruits and veggies there can be something wrong with a person digestion and or colon.
Make sure you take care of this problem. I get really tired and I don't know if this is due to my large AN. I used to have more energy than anyone I knew.

John,
I also had some lightheadness. I thought it was low blood sugar. I only noticed when I would be sitting or kneeling on the floor and the getting up quickly. I don't know for sure that it was part of my AN, but I do know that since I've had surgery it's been gone. I would also get pressure in my head if I strained myself too hard. That is also gone. My doctor told me not to lift anything too heavy before my surgery.
