Does anyone else get dizzy weak shaky and sweaty out in the heat. Almost every time I go out in the heat I do that.

Yeah, we had dreadful heat and humidity last week and I almost passed out on my morning walk. Light headed, spots before my eyes, the whole thing. I had to sit down by a tree for like a half hour until it passed. I started to think that maybe I've become one of those old people who should stay in the air conditioning when the weather is extreme and the air quality is bad.

Or it could be I need to cut back my high blood pressure med again. I am only taking 1/3 of what I used to take, but I am going to cut that in half now.

Could that be what's happening to you? Do you take meds and have you adjusted for weight loss? Have you called your doctor and told them about this?

I've had quite a few bouts of dizziness of late (12 weeks post op) and wondered if my bp has dropped along with my weight. It's especially bad if I stand up quickly, and I've fallen badly once and nearly fallen loads of times. Covered in bruises at the moment as I keep toppling into things.

And it's winter DownUnder - an unusually warm winter for sure, but I'm definately not overheated.

Of course it could be an inner ear infection...

You've spurred me to go to my GP about it.

I am certainly not a doctor, but that sounds like blood pressure to me. I've had HBP for 40 years, and tried every med on the market. And had every side effect. Part of my reason for the sleeve was to get off my meds, and I am almost there!

Don't know how Australia medical doctors work, but suggest that you call and/or get in right away -- like today! Your condition sounds dangerous, as in you shouldn't be driving! Good luck!

Are you drinking and eating appropriately? If it's hot weather and you're thirsty, you're already behind the 8 ball (dehydrated). It's hard to catch up. I got heat exhaustion from being at the fair and not drinking enough fluids (I know better but didn't do better). I paid the price and still trying to recover from it. My mum has a saying on her kitchen wall, "Learn from the mistakes of others, you can't live long enough to make them all yourself". Sure....LOL Hope that helps.

My heart Dr did tell me tho skip my bp pill if I thought I was going to be out in the heat. I work in the heat so my next event I will slip my pill.
