Along With Lightheadedness Does Anyone Else Have Symptoms Of Tinnitus And Light Sensitivity When Doing Moderate Too Strenuous Activity?

A MyAmyloidosisTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­
Denver, CO

These symptoms along with water weight was what led doctors to diagnosing amyloidosis. When the onset of lightheadedness is about to happen with me I get moderate to severe tinnitus and light sensitivity that requires me to stop what Iā€™m doing and let the event pass. I also get moderate headaches when this happens. Iā€™m concerned that this might lead to a stroke. Working with my doctors to determine if this is a symptom of amyloidosis or something else. Thank you.
