Dizziness

juliegeraci · February 13, 2008

I've been waking up in the a.m. dizzy since Sunday. I haven't been eating as much since my fill. My friend also said that I may also not be taking in enough liquids. I am going to the doctor tomorrow to have him run some bloodwork. Has anyone else had this symptom and what was it from?

Have you stopped or started any new medications?

Hi Travelgirl, I'm on medication yes but nothing is new. The last medication I started was 7 weeks ago. You would think the reaction would have been sooner if that is the case? The other medications have been for years. I really think it is blood sugar levels.

It really does depend on the medication. If it's an anti-depressant, for sure can cause that sort of side effect several weeks after starting it. BUT, considering that you can't eat very much since your last fill, you could be right about it being related to your food intake. Definitely get it checked out, and make sure you're drinking enough water!

Thanks Travelgirl. I am upping my Water intake today and I'm going to have a Protein Shake before bed tonight. Wow, restriction is amazing!

Julie, did you find out what was causing your dizziness?

It went away on its own. I took an antihistamine so it must have been allergies or inner ear. I also have lower blood pressure now since being banded 100/80 so he said that may have been part of it. Thanks for asking.
