You know you see those little white floaty things that actually do look like stars? It has been happening to me alot - well three or four times a week - any idea what it could be???? --------------------

You may want to go to the doctor just to be sure. So go.. and then come back and update me. This post has been edited by Bellasmommy10 on Aug 20 2007, 05:04 PM

Yes definately I am lightheaded when it happens....not sure if it happens when I stand up or get up from the floor or not - haven't paid that much attention to when its happening just that is seems to be happening alot - maybe an appt. with the MD is in order.....and I think I am due for an eye exam too so I guess I should do both...

Thanks girls and I will KUP......

Things got better after sitting and drinking a large glass of water. What about sleep? Are you sleeping okay? You may want to get your iron checked too. -------------------- Rae SAHM to Wil (4) and Wesley (2) ~ Wife to Richard 10/20/01

I should have thought of that...I have to take an iron supplement or else I get the lightheadedness.
