I went to the Dr. today due to fluid in my head and causing dizziness and lightleadness. He first off didnt like my BP, 152/110 and then before I left it was 132/102. I was feeling yucky before I went and when I got out to the car my stomach started heaving several times (yes, and there were ppl. in the car next to me). Nothing came up but air burps and it sounded like a drain, this happened several times while sweating but nothing. After I got out the air, I felt better and drove home. What did I do?? I've never have thrown up air? Is there a name for this???? Why did I do it? Before I left I had @ 2 oz of broth. BTW:, I'm banded 5 days out Nancy

Sounds like dumping syndrome and nerves, Nancy. How much time before you left did you have the broth?

Nancy -

I had that happen to me some early out. Especially if I was tired and not feeling well to start with. I don't really know what caused it, except maybe over exerting myself. I honestly have not had any issues with that in quite a while.

I think that you might want to take it easy and know that this too shall pass.

I hope you are feeling better soon. Be gentle with yourself.

You poor thing. Sorry to hear that. Maybe with all the stress lately? Better get some rest and take it easy. Sending love and hugs your way. Mare

Nancy - Did your Dr. do anything about your BP? Did he give you any medication or tell you to monitor your BP? Will you be following up with him? I know your "air burps" were very scary and painfull but, your BP is something that should be addressed.

I'm going next 2 days for a BP check, it hasn't been out of whack with meds in over 12 years. He says it's odd 'cause I've even lost 10 lbs. since seeing him last. Could be nerves,anxiety,or the tylenol cold I took the previous night. I should buy one of those home BP cuffs. No wonder I was feeling lightheaded. We'll see tomorrow.
