Valtrex. You can take it preventatively. Also don't worry, the longer you have herpes the less you get outbreaks. It gets weaker everytime.

I had that for about 5 months, then I got dizzy.  I told my doc, went for an MRI, then a spinal tap, and guess what!?  I have Multiple Sclerosis!  WOO HOO!  I hope you don't.  You should go to your doc though, could be even worse!

First does your boyfriend know that you have genital herpes? Just because he wore a condom doesn't mean that he didn't catch herpes Whether you have symptoms or not, you can still transmit the infection. If you are sexually active, condoms can help reduce, but do not eliminate, the risk of spreading HSV.\n\nGenital herpes (also called HSV infection) is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that may cause skin blisters and sores in the genital area, but often causes no visible symptoms. It is possible to get genital herpes through sexual contact with an infected person even if he or she has no symptoms. \n\nI hope this helps...Be careful sweety

If you are concerned you should ask your doctor or a health professional, not yahoo answers...

it might be a sinus problem, or sinus infection, or ear infection, or swollen lymph nodes caused by another infection,,i suggest you see a dr,  and even consider going to an emergency room, all of those symtoms combined together really dont fit into any one problem that i know of , i would be especially concerned about the numbness and dizziness

could be a number of things go get checked out by your family doctor..if you've had unprotected sex could be your pregnant or something as simple as an ear infection which is accompanied by nausea and dizzines.

Give us a little more info,but it sounds like you are dehydrated. Being dehydrated can feel awful. You feel like you want to vomit,dizziness, etc. Try to get to some asperine(2) and something to drink. The asperine will increase your blood flow slightly  and then you will be rehydrating. Try to consume some form of potassium and sodium. Like ceral or a banana with pb. If you are really dehydrated you won't feel normal for about 2-3 days. I had to give blood once to save a friend and I had just come back from running, and dude I passed out and sh8#%ed in my pants. I woke up and hurled, and I felt like crap for about 3 days. So i hope ya feel better.

Sister, I wish I were a doctor!  I do know that when I am in the first stages of the flu, I get light headed, even dizzy to the point of the room spinning, but I don't pass out.\n\nIf you have the flu, if that is what it is, it could say a lot about being winded.\n\nHowever, and this just recently happened to a friend.  Ask the doc about Human Parvo.  Have you heard of it?  The lump might even be caused by this.  All your other symptoms point in this direction also.  \n\nI think you told me that you were seeing your ENT tomorrow, and I hope it's early.  Look it up on your fave health sight, or just google it or go to about.com.  Anything!\n\nA blood test will tell if you have this.  Don't miss the doc appointment.  I'll pray for you!

There's so many things that can cause dizziness.  I got new glasses one time and was dizzy for a while because the perscription wasn't right.  You could have a lot of stress too, which can make you dizzy.  Some people feel a slight buzz in their head, usually shooting straight back from your forehead along the sides of your head.  You could also have an ear wax build up.  Since you had those other tests ruled out, you might also ask your doctor about Lyme's Disease, depending on where you live.  You can get it anywhere, but it's really uncommon in some parts.  I live in Pennsylvania, and it's a lot more prevalent here, and one of the symptoms is dizziness.  Either way, don't give up.  It's hard going back into the doctor's office time and time again.

no. however a "fever blister" or cold sore is generally speaking most likely herpes type 1. "Genital Herpes" aka herpes type 2 however can look like just a fever blister. what I mean by this is that other than the genitals you can get herpes blisters on your fingers (usually around the cuticle area) and on you lips,inside your mouth and in some particularly painful cases on your eye lids. so by Herpes symptoms what exactly do you mean? Fever, chills, more blisters?  A blood test for herpes only shows for whether you have been exposed to the virus, NOT if you have been infected with it. The difference is that if you are exposed to a virus you blood builds up antibodies to that virus which means next time you are exposed you can fight back! When you are infected the virus "wins" and you get sick. The only definative test there is currently (at least to my knowlege) is a culture of the blister before it dries up. I know this sounds gross and it is... but if you don't find out if you have herpes, well you could go for 30 years and not know you have it and then when you are married and pregnant suddenly your husband gets an outbreak. Oh yeah did I mention that you don't have to have an outbreak to transmit herpes type 2. Now, not only do you have a significant other to worry about but did you know that if you have an outbreak during certain parts of your pregnancy your baby could die. or it might just be brain damaged. Point being just get that blister checked out ok? Trust me... The reason I know this stuff is because I waited too long to find out. I've never had a real outbreak but I have had a blood test which says I have at least been exposed to both types... so just TRUST ME You'll be glad to have a REAL answer either way

Not generally, no. However if the infection should get to your ears, which wouldn't be uncommon, it can affect the vestibular system, thus making you dizzy. Generally speaking, if you are having dizziness, you should see your doctor to get some antibiotics (if not taking them already) as an inner ear infection can do bad things if left unchecked. One should also consider the possibility that something else could be causing the dizziness at the brainstem...which would be really bad! Either case, see your Dr.

It depends on a few things: how old you were when you had it, how severe your case was, and how healthy you are now.  If you were very young (like, 2 years or younger) it is possible that your body didn't make sufficient antibodies for your adult life.  If you didn't have a very serious case, the same may be true.  If you have a compromised immune system for any reason, you could also be vulnerable.\n\nHowever, if you are healthy, had a pretty solid case previously, and were at least old enough to remember being sick, you're probably okay.  Still, I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to be around your roomates' things.  Wash your hands, get lots of rest, drink lots of fluids - play it safe.

Yes herpes and hpv can lie dormant for that amount of time.  Its far more likely that you have yeast or bacterial vaginosis though if its been 5 years since you had sex.\n\nWhy not just go to a doc and get it checked?

Get someone to drive you to the doctor or ER right away. Best if you don't drive yourself if you are dizzy, since it could be so many different things, some of them quite serious.  Most likely it is a middle ear infection or some virus, but in case it is blood pressure related, or some kind of seizure on-coming, ask a friend to take you in now.  Good luck--you will be fine!

sounds verys serious. they may want to see a doctor. also, the dizzyness, tiredness, and feeling like the are gonna pass out is probably dehidration. they should try to drink more water as well.

You should really talk to a doctor about that, rather than asking it on here.  You never know what kind of person is going to answer or if they have the background to tell you yes or no.
