Dizziness/Lightheadedness update

Well, I posted about a week ago about the dizzy spells that I was having when standing up or lifting my head. Well, the spells started getting worse, so I went in to my PCP for a work-up. My blood pressure is low, my blood sugar is low, and my Vit. D is low (it was low before surgery too). Also, my blood pressure drops from laying down to sitting and then from sitting to standing going from 102/60 to 90/60 to 80/60. All other labs were normal--B vits, iron, electrolytes, etc... They also did an EKG--Normal. Bottom line is that my body is having difficulty adjusting to the weight loss, which is causing my low blood pressure & low blood sugar. Nothing they can do for me. I am, however, now on a prescription Vit D for the next month. Also, George has prohibited me from getting on the treadmill unless he is home, because I have been getting very lightheaded about 35 minutes into my treadmilling. Other than that, I am doing well and just bought a size 14 regular pair of jeans--my skinny jeans (crazy how perspectives change, because 14 used to be my fat jeans) Have a great weekend! Roberta

Hi Roberta, I am glad you found out what was going on. Size 14, WOW that is great!!!! Take care in gettting up and down. Have a great weekend. Pat

Hi Roberta, Glad you saw the doctor about that and at least know what is going on. Size 14 sounds great! Congratulations

I've been having that same problem. I had blood work done last week and my PCP took me off of 2 BP medicines. I'm hoping I'll feel stronger when I go back to work next week. I do water aerobics but can't get in the hot tub yet. It just makes me too weak. Some of my blood work came back O.K., still waiting on the rest. Hope you feel stronger soon. Rhonda

I've noticed a little dizziness and did not think about that. Fortunately, it has not been very often. Just every so often. Take care of yourself! Nancy
