Hi all,

I've been suffering constant lightheadedness and feelings of being faint, as well as bad dizzy spells for the last 3 or 4 months. After tests that revealed nothing was physically wrong, my doctor has prescribed lexapro on the basis that my symptoms are probably caused by anxiety, although I actually don't feel THAT anxious. But maybe I'm just kidding myself...

Cheers all

Kenny
