I know I need to go to the Doctor and I have a call into the surgeons, but I wanted to sound it off here and see what ya'll think. The past couple of weeks I have had periods of dizziness and feeling just exhausted. I have been feeling a little light headed and woozy but then it passes and I feel fine. I am very cold and feel like my blood pressure is really low.... The only thing really different is a couple of weeks ago I had to start taking Tylonal PM so I can sleep and I was thinking that maybe that might be it..... I am making sure I am getting all my water in, and trying to get my protein in, but over the weekend it is so hard to eat right as we are out running around usually....I am taking my vitamins so I know thats not it. Today, I have had some feeling of dizziness and vertigo if that makes since? My vision seems blurry alot more too??? What do ya think, am I off my rocker or just wait on the Dr office to call me back? TIA, CarolN

Inner ear infection is my first thought. Though given the duration, not sure. Keep us posted, Carol! Get well hugs to you!

I had that happen and they took me off my blood pressure meds. Been doing good ever since. Are you on any blood pressure meds. If not you could be having some sort of low blood pressure issue. But call your doctor for sure.

Carol, I'm sorry your feeling so yucky, but I'm glad you called your Dr. First I would think blood pressure is low, hopefully your not on any meds. Second, getting in all your water. Third, what is your lab work looking like? If you are low on iron you will feel exhausted, but it's hard to say, but I don't think dizzy goes along with that. Make sure you talk to you Dr. and be persistant if you don't hear from them, because there are a few other things that can cause those symptoms. Keep us informed.

Thank you everyone....I did hear back from the surgeons office, called there first just incase it was related to something WLS. They want me to call the primary care doctor, so I will when i get off work. The Tylonal PM was ok with him, just not for a long time. Never been on any blood pressure meds but before WLS mine was getting high and they considered meds but it hadn't gotten to that point. I am getting all my water in and then some and I probably am getting in my protein. So I am still clueless. CarolN

Carol...I am sorry you are having these problems. Hope you find an answer soon. I was feeling a little that way when my iron was low....got on meds and all is okay now. Could be a blood pressure issue too or an inner ear infection. Good thing you are seeing your PC. Let me know what you find out. Hugs, connie d
