Bed Spins?

[BeeBlueHeron 87]

I woke up this morning with the worst case of bed spins and they won't seem to go away. I'm not on any heavy duty meds -- but last night I took half an Immodium for diarrhea and some liquid Tylenol, along with .25 mg of an anti-anxiety pill. I think I drank all my fluids, but could I be dehydrated?

I used to pay good money to get this feeling! Now, it's just annoying and nauseating. Suggestions?

Definitely not drinking enough can cause dizziness, headaches, -make sure you monitor your Fluid intake and see how you do

I have NOT been monitoring my intake -- just sipping all day. Maybe I'm taking in a lot less than I thought....

Can't imagine wanting to spend money to feel like that. I think spinning and nausea is the worst feeling ever.

It was a joke --- about the morning-after results of my old drinking days. You're right, no one wants to feel like this! Ugh.....like the worst hangover ever.

It's a little better, been sipping peppermint tea, but still spinning and nauseous.....blech!

Hi I had this happen a few days after my surgery too. What I didn't realize is that they put a scopolamine patch behind my ear pre op. it made me really dizzy!

You may not want to drink tea right now if it's a dehydration issue, most teas dehydrate you. Maybe try some gatorade? That is what I drank the week after my surgery and helped me as I was not getting enough fluids in.

I just really bummed now.....feel like I took two steps back in my recovery. I've showered this morning, but still really, really dizzy, too dizzy to drive or do anything.

Drinking coconut Water, regular Water, had peppermint tea, even had a little liquid yogurt (doctor okayed it). Maybe I overdid yesterday?

You know what did it? I had a Protein Shake (premixed, bottled) and emptied my Vitamin capsule into it. May have just been low on the nutrient spectrum.

Okay, this is what happened to me after losing the first fast 50 pounds. Woke up one morning and literally fell out of bed on the floor. Could not get up and hubby heard me fall against the closet door and helped me up. Felt like I had too much to drink, have not had a drink in 30 years. I could not walk or drive, the room was spinning around me like no tomorrow. Went to doctor and he put me on some prescription like dramamine. It is something to do with the inner ear and every now and again after losing 88 pounds, I get a little dizzy. I keep dramamine with me, at home and at work and when I feel it coming on I take 1/4 tablet and it calms down. You might want to check with your doctor. My doctor said it could have been caused from losing so much so fast. In my case it could be just getting older too, but I do keep it under control with dramamine and I am good to go. Good luck, get to your doctor and have him check you out.
