Been banded since April and doing well. EXCEPT that recently I have been getting very dizzy. Could this be a vitamin/iron problem. I will confess I have not been taking my vitamins. Has anyone else experience this or know any other reason. Thank you.

Been banded since April and doing well. EXCEPT that recently I have been getting very dizzy. Could this be a vitamin/iron problem. I will confess I have not been taking my Vitamins. Has anyone else experience this or know any other reason. Thank you.

Here are a few possible reasons:

*not eating enough?

* not drinking enough water/liquid possible dehydration

* low blood pressure- were you taking meds for high blood pressure and need to have the doc check you and maybe lower dose?

* Have you had a cold or sinus infection...can affect balance and ears

*ear infection- can affect balance and cause dizziness

* vertigo-sometimes people develop vertigo out of the blue...is the room spinning sometimes? does it change when you move your head? Sit? Stand? this is another doctor visit... for now you can use dramamine/meclazine to help you out until you can see a doctor

Thank you Angela. Could be for any reason you mentioned. Feels exactly like you described vertigo. Spinning when I move my head. I'll give the doc a call. Have a Happy Holiday.

i have also been gettng dizzy, but only right after i eat, any suggestions on this?
