I was too and my blood pressure was extremely low. My doctor told me to do the opposite of what they tell the high blood pressure folks. Eat some salt.

Which medications are you on? My Protonix (Pantoprazole) acid reducer causes dizziness. I take it in the evenings after I work out so I don't kill myself.

For me it just causes mild dizziness when I first stand up after sitting. I haven't noticed it any other time.

Low blood pressure? Anemic? Are you also weak or just dizzy?

Orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up), for sure. Just try to take it slow. Stand up, take your time, deep breaths, it'll get better, promise!

Me to, it happens a lot more now. When i stand up i get dizzy, someone get the black out creeping into my vision and loose my balance. Never really had it happen much before surgery, now it happens 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!!
