I know I’ve been a slacker with my blogging.  Truth be told, I haven’t really had much to write about.  Things are, well, boring.  But … (oh, you knew I’d have a “but”)

For the past few months, I’ve been getting these weird dizzy spells.  Although, dizzy isn’t even the right word; it’s more like a light-headed feeling.  

My initial thought was that it must be related to my blood pressure because I’m hypertensive, and one of the symptoms of high BP is dizziness.  So, I checked my BP when I was feeling fine (it was slightly elevated) and when I was dizzy (it was slightly elevated).  This tells me two things:

1. It’s not related to my BP.
2. I need to increase my BP meds because I shouldn’t be elevated at all.

So, BP ruled out, I started to wonder if it was some inner ear disturbance.  I’m horribly prone to ear infections (been that way since I was a little squirt), but after a few visits to the ENT doc, I seem to be keeping them at bay.  So, while I’m not ruling inner ear disturbance out completely, I’m thinking it’s unlikely.

Then I started to think about when this dizziness nonsense first started.  It was in November, but I can’t remember exactly when.  A few things happened around that timeframe:

1. I caught a pretty nasty cold, which resulted in my doctor putting me on antibiotics.  The symptoms went away quickly, but I’ve had this residual stuffiness/sinus issue ever since.
2. I got my H1N1 vaccine. 

I keep expecting the dizziness to just go away, but it’s not happening.  So, I’m going to make (yet another) doctor’s appointment to (hopefully) figure it out.

And before you ask, I’m not pregnant.
