hi everyone,

about 3 days ago i started to get dizzy if i bend down, looked down, or layed down.

anyone else have that or any ideas?

thanks

That can be anything from low blood pressure to not getting enough nourishment. Check with your doctor better safe than sorry.

Have you checked your blood sugar? If it's low, that can happen. I'm not diabetic, but this happened to me once in Wal-Mart and I got very scared. When I went to my mom's, she checked me with her glucometer and that's what the problem was. If you know anyone who's diabetic, I'm sure they'll have no problem checking it for ya!

I agree, though... going to the doc is the safest way to go.

That would be true if it was not just happening when she bends, lays or looks down, blood sugar usually will affect you regardless of what you are doing. It is a nastly little problem that affects all of your senses, 100% of the time if it is too low.

I was having a very similar experience. several weeks after being banded, but I don't believe it was related at all, I had vertigo, not the lightheadedness like I was gonna faint, but the room would spin terribly if I looked up, bent over, or layed down. I went to the doc after several days of it, and I had fluid in one ear and terrible sinus. I was told to take claritin, sudafed, and he perscribed a seroid nasal spray. Still took three weeks to go away, and it was a miserable three weeks! I was sleeping in my recliner because I couldn't lay down, and was waking up from a sound sleep to the room spinning!

Still like everyone said, see your doc to be sure!

I'm experiencing this same thing. I have vertigo, but it normally goes away after a day or two. Just assumed it was my vertigo... now you've got me thinking. I haven't asked my doctor's office yet. Guess I should. Keep me posted on what you find out.

I had the same problem after surgery. My trainer thought it was blood sugar related also and suggested Gatorade when it hit me. I don’t think it did, just taking a few minutes to recover did. I am 8 mos post-op now and have no problems with it anymore. I think it was some kind of body adjustment to surgery or calorie reduction. Good luck with it!

I have that problem if I get up too fast. I'm still on blood pressure medicine because the doctor is phasing it out. I'm off two meds and at a half dose for another month of the last one. My BP the last month hasn't gone above 110/70 and on occasion has been 90/60.
