dizzy, clammy, pale, help?



Recommended Posts

last night i was getting ready for bed, it was 10 pm, all of a sudden i felt sweaty, dizzy, nausea, weak, my hands and arms went numbe and so I sat down and put my head down and i felt worse, i dont know why this happened now because i had more nutrition yesterday than any day since i had surgery,,,, I had a protien shake with 1/2 banana and a TB Peanut Butter. and a can of tomatoe Soup with 1 can skim milk...i drank these through out the day along with my clear fluids, plus a glass of v8 fusion, ( mixed fruit and veggies..) I felt really good all day, actually better than i have since i had surgery. today i continue to be pale and weak.....Oh, and my pulse was only 45 and my bp was normal, not the first time my pulse has been low since I came home. usually 48-55. but not all the time...this morning it was 80? did this ever happen to anyone else? feeling a little nervous that maybe something is wrong. although i dont have any pain or fever. please let me know what you think.? thanks vicki~~ :unsure:

That's strange that you are pale, dizzy and clammy yet your pulse is low - usually your pulse gets really high in that situation. Normally I'd think of low blood pressure or low blood sugar, but they generally come with a fast heart rate. I don't have any advice other than to give your Dr. a call. Do you know what your pulse is normally? 45 may be normal for you (I get as low as 33 sometimes), in which case the 80 would actually be faster than it should be.

Hi Vicki,

I hope you called you doctor today and what did he say? I'm so sorry you have been feeling so bad. Are you able to eat more food yet? I told my nut that I'm done with Protein shakes that I prefer to not eat anything. She told me I could then have 3oz of soft food (eggs, deli turkey, lowfat cheese, etc.) 3 times a day, which I really can't eat that much but I feel so much better having real food. So maybe you would start to feel better when you can eat more.

Feel better soon, I'm thinking about you,

Janine

I'm glad your feeling a little better, I have not seen the doctor yet, I really need to go but they have the worst hours. I think I lost about 13 pounds as of today. But I think I'm only eating around 300 calories a day, I'm trying to eat more but I get so full. So I would think I would have lost more weight. But I'm not going to stress over it. I have about 100 pounds to lose, I just want to enjoy this phase and try not to worry about the scale so much.

Tak care of yourself, Janine

Great attitude Janine, some one said we go into starvation mode and dont lose so much, maybe that is what it is, 300 cal. is so limited, hope you get an appt soon. take care vicki~~:)

Your symptoms sound almost like dumping syndrome. Maybe check the sugar content in your drinks? I would def. call your doc., too! I am glad you are feeling a bit better today!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
