cardiactec Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 just wondering, i know after i have been standing A LONG time, i start to then get some strange head sensations, some light-headedness but typically i usually only get a lot of strange limb sensations, mostly in the legs - my legs get heavy, weak, shaky......do you all typically experience one over the other more predominantly with upright position or both? neither?

bttrflyamby1981 Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I would have to say I feel it in my head more then anything, but when I'm up and on my feet for a good length of time I will get the heavy weak feelings in my legs.

Sunfish Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 i feel things body-wide. i have more "head" sensations now b/c i can't be upright long enough for the leg issues to kick in, but when i could be up more it was definitely a combination for me. now almost any upright time for me consists of sitting with my legs still up (i.e. propped up in bed, in a recliner, etc) wherein i still have dizziness issues after a bit but my legs stay perfectly fine. compression hose used to help me immensely with the leg issues, but they were still always there. uncomfortable legs, however, have never been a "warning" to me that i'm about to loose consciousness; they're just uncomfortable (though do/did indicate i was pushing more). when my dizziness/shakiness reaches a certain level, it's a warning for me that i'd better be voluntarily flat soon or else i won't have a choice in the matter.so, in short, for me it's both. melissap.s. i have other "leg sensations" 24/7 (numbness, tingling, burning) due to peripheral neuropathy but didn't think that's what you were referring to:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprilmarie52 Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 I get light headed, but usually when I stand not sit up. I dont usually get leg sensations unless I am extreemly symptomatic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmpower Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I get the head stuff more if I am up and still, but the leg stuff along with the head stuff if I am moving a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
