Super light headed and dizzy

I am super light headed and dizzy. I feel like I am going to pass out. I will be one month out on Friday. This is the first time that I have had it this bad. I don't know what's up. I have eaten, and I am drinking a good amount of water. I even drank some real sugar (mixed in tea) thinking maybe I needed it because my blood sugar was dropping. I literally feel drunk. Has anyone else had this?

  • Lots of water flushes out potassium. Could be that.

  • Are you diabetic? Have you been checking your blood sugar regularly? What is it? If it's low, by all means have something sweet to bring it up. Fluids are the best to get it back to 100mg/dl quick

Are you diabetic? Have you been checking your blood sugar regularly? What is it? If it's low, by all means have something sweet to bring it up. Fluids are the best to get it back to 100mg/dl quickly.

If you're not diabetic, and eating didn't help, you might want to see a doctor. If your blood pressure is dropping, and especially if you're on blood pressure meds, it might also be orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure too low.)

My questions would all be the same, but have you tried fluids other than water? Gatorade?

If eating and drinking doesn't correct this then i think you need to see your medical professional. It could be blood pressure, or any number of things. Better safe than sorry here.

When I get dizzy it is either because I haven't had enough to eat or drink and it is easy to fix by eating and drinking.

I get dizzy and light headed if I'm doing too much or I haven't had enough to eat. Sometimes it's hard for me to decide the exact cause. When I feel like that my routine is to get a small glass of orange juice a string cheese and to sit/lay down. I take a few mins to eat the cheese, wait about 5 mins and sip on the o.j. And in about 20 mins from start to finish I feel better.
