Dizzy?

Sometimes when I move my head too quickly and most of the time when I stand up, I feel very dizzy. I feel like I may pass out if I don't stay really still and close my eyes for a moment. Does this happen to anyone else? If so, do you know what causes it? Thanks! Shannon -58

I have not had this problem but my dietician warned me about similar symptoms if I did not get enough nutrients in including my protein and my vitamens. Hope that helps. TJ Brown 320/261/145

I had not had this problem tell today. Im wondering if mine isnt a bug or something. Its weird though. Good luck and your doing awesome. Kathy

I live with this daily, but for me it has nothing to do with surgery. I have benign positional vertigo. It can be debilitating...when it sets of full force, I'm off my feet for at least 10 days Lack of nutrients or water can cause dizziness though...you should ask your dr. Linda

Hi Linda, Yikes! I am sorry about your vertigo...not good at all. Hopefully some new drug will come along that will enable you to avoid the 10 day lay-ups. I am planning on calling the doctor Monday to find out what the heck I can do to stop this because I am positive that I am getting enough whater and nutrients in, perhaps not though. Thanks for responding. Take care, Shannon

I have had this since a few weeks after surgery. I called the doc and found it is related to my low blood pressure. I've always had fairly low pressure, but the no-carb diet and weight loss has lowered it even further. My dizziness only occurs when I move quickly, like turning over in bed or standing up. His solution? Don't move so quickly. Thanks a lot! Karen

Haha, doctors can be super sometimes, eh!? Thanks for responding, Karen. Have a great night, Shannon

Along with being a symptom of low blood pressure, it is also a symptom of dehydration. Make sure you are getting in your 64 ounces of fluids each day! Hope you feel better soon! Patti
