hello, 20 year old male.. so long story short back in 2009 I suddenly became VERY lighthraded at school out of nowhere and I went home sick that day stuggling to walk feeling like I was going to faint.

From then on it was a constant feeling, I went to all the doctors got all the blood tests done, cardiology tests EKG, monitor, tilt table and everything. Got a CT scan, went to and ear nose and throat specialist and NOTHING.

I had this constant lightheadedness for about 2 months before it dimmed down enough to where I could drag myself back to school but still felt the slight lightheadedness, much worse when in the auditorium for plays, sometimes driving, and during my HS graduation... but it would slowly get better after the events.

Then suddenly here in 2014 while at work it suddenly hit my full blast again with constant 24/7 lightheadedness, heavy heartbeat, some trouble focusing at tomes, and I've now been out of work for 2 months,

had and MRI the other day that came back clear with apparent slight matter near the frontal lobe but I was told it was nothing to worry about and could be migrane related.. or is it Lyme related?...

and I am taking clonazepam now because it's beginging to give me anxiety, and helps a tiny bit but I and still lightheaded 24/7! I never had anxiety before I felt this lightheadedness! it's terrible I can't drive or anything because it's that bad...

Any ideas what's going on with me? I used to live out in the country back when it first started happening and very easily could have gotten bitten by ticks, but I never noticed anything that worried me.. just want to feel normal!

Two obvious possibilities come to mind.

First is a vitamin B12 deficiency.

Second would be a Babesia infection.

Do not really think this is lyme itself, but more likely to be Babesia which is also contracted from a tickbite.
