dizzy/light headed



Recommended Posts

Trust me to feel like poo on the weekend....

I've been getting 'funny turns' - light headed and dizzy spells, slight palpations, sickness, foggy head/headache...

Could it be my HRT? Are my carbs too low? Low sugar? or something else?

Anyone else experienced this?

Do you have a blood sugar monitor (or have a friend who does that could check it?) It could be that, or low blood pressure. In any case, try to get it checked out!!

Hey Griselda...

that is a good idea... my dad has type 2 so he has a machine... I think I will pop in tomorrow and check my blood... Had a piece of wholegrain toast thinking that the good carbs would help, but it hasn't made much of a difference!! =[

It takes a while to take effect. My niece is type 1. She finds juice the best to get her blood sugars up quickly. Hope you are feeling better!!

Went to dad's today... tested my blood and it was 4.6 He said that was low, but I have to say I felt much better today compared to yesterday!

I am going to keep an eye on it over the next couple of days/week... hopefully it is nothing!

You should try to stay between around 7-10. 4-5 is not too terrible right before you eat 3 and under is not good. Hope you're doing better today.

maybe you just had a a touch of a bug? I have had days where I felt like you described but it just went away on its own. I just thought it was some sort of virus.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
