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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
