Fainting?

CynthiaMcC · February 11, 2009

Hi everyone -

I wonder if any of you have had problems fainting? I'm done about a 100 pounds and have fainted a few times in the last two weeks. The first three times were about a week and half ago,I had been sick, plus too tight and could not keep food or Fluid down. I went to the ER, had an unfill, some IV solution and was fine. Until today. I was fine all day, eating normally, drinking lots of Water and fainted at work. I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, but wanted to see if anyone has any thoughts or experiences?

Thanks.

Cynthia

The only time I've fainted is after either not eating enough Protein or not having enough Iron in my system. Might be something unrelated.

Just a thought......are you on blood pressure meds.? If you are, you should discuss this with your provider (either way, please contact your provider.) Possibly it's time to decrease the dosage or do away with the meds all together. I've only lost 52 lbs. but my b.p. has really fallen. I used to be around 140/90 but today was 111/78 so my Dr. is having me come in every week to check and if it continues to stay around the same or drop more, she'll take me off one of my pills.

Congratulations on the weight loss!!!! And I hope you get to the bottom of this quickly!
