I started walking prior to Surgery to get the blood flowing and continued after working my way up to 30 minutes a day... So I decided to wash my car one day and then it hit me... Light-Headed... I had to stop for a while and continue at a much slower pace. It took me 2 hours to complete the process...

Why does this happen? I'm used to doing things and washing my car is a weekly chore that I had no problems with before surgery...

Thanks,

Do you take blood pressure meds? I would recommend seeing your primary care doc to evaluate your dosage. The same started happening to me. Once you start exercising and loosing weight your BP tends to get better and you may need less dosage.

Yeah, with you two on that one!!! Exact same thing here! I got to doc on Friday and will definitely ask him about it!!! Nice to know I am not alone!

I get light headed all the time now - and i am not nor do i need bp meds. I get really light headed when i bend over to put my ball on the tee while golfing. One time almost blacked out. My nutritionist said it was because i wasnt eating enough. My dr tells me i am eating too much. Who knows. I am still losing so i dont care about the calories - i just hate the feeling of almost passing out

Same here while at work if i bend over for to log a time it starts to spin. I am on BP mends but I just een my PCP a week ago and e said it wold not hurtto stay on them. I DON"T KNOW!!!! I fig they know what they are dong so we will all just have to see how it goes.:sick

Thanks for the 411... My blood pressure has been boderline high for years. My last visit after surgery it was 127/74, the lowest in years... My doc is thinking of removing me off the meds as I continue to lose more weight...

But until then, I'll just take easy while washing the ride...
