Im 3 months out and passed out last night heading for the bathroom. I went today for blood work thinking but might be low Iron or potassium. I've been getting a little dizzy when standing up last couple weeks. I've been getting in my fluids and been eating well. Has anyone had experience with this?

I hve been dizzy never passed but I hve not felt that way in weeks. What did they say?

I am 9 weeks out from surgery and this happened to me last week. I remember getting up to go to the bathroom, don't remember falling but woke up on the floor. I tend to get dizzy when I get up too fast so I've been sitting on the side of bed for a few minutes before I get up. I'm anxious to see what your physician says.

Could it be low iron? You may want to try taking a separate iron pill...

I would probably attribute this to one of two things, low blood pressure or low blood sugar...since surgery I have had both...sugar is what causes the lightheaded ness for me...?

may be sodium potassium problem. When I start getting dehydrated water doesn't help me so I drink some electrolytes in smart water or G2 and I feel better very quickly. It can't hurt to rule that out. Some people need it like me.

Oh and PLEASE call your Dr tomorrow and just him or her what happened. Being dizzy is one thing but passing out for real can be a sign of a serious problem. Good luck friend.

I hope that you are feeling better now.

I feel the same way

I'm wondering if my blood pressure medication is too strong now. My bloodworm results come back tomorrow so I'll know more then

I passed out twice since surgery. I haven't passed out since I started taking my Vitamins. If I get overheated I get dizzy and light headed also.

If I eat greasy food my stomach gets aggrevated and I think it irritates my vagal nerve which makes me pass out. It sounds weird, but at least I know what triggers it.

I would think it would be BP meds. Low iron wouldn't make you pass out. It would just make you tired.

How are you feeling today? Did you contact your doctor?

Well good news. Got my blood work and everything came back normal so thinking blood pressure dropped causing me to black out.

That is good news. Glad you are feeling ok.

redhead mom, call me the fainting queen. I used to pass out pretty frequently.For me, it was my blood pressure. If you're still on meds for hypertension, and you've lost weight, definitely get your dosage adjusted. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to discontinue them. Whenever I start feeling weird and get ringing in my ears, I drop me head. Otherwise, I'll be down for the count.
