whoa i'm dizzy and the room is spinning
i get super dizzy when i stand up..the room gets a little dark and spins for about 5 seconds and then i'm fine. at first..i thought it was dehydration but i am getting close to 64 oz a day...does anyone else experience this? i'm wondering if it's low blood pressure (which would be kind of a crazy issue to have since i've had high blood pressure for the past few years) and what that means...
thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Dehydration and low BP sound like possibilities. Definitely check with a doctor though.

It is possible that you need to adjust your BP medicine.. By what your ticker says, 28lbs would/could make your doses have to change. Since I had surgery on May 16th, I have already discontinued 3 out of 5 prescriptions that I was taking, and the 2 that I am still on have been cut in half with the doses. Call your doctor and see him ASAP. Good Luck!
Sounds like what they call "orthostatic hypotension", which is just a fancy-schmancy way of saying that your BP goes down when you sit up or stand too suddenly. Do bring it to your physician's attention, but in the meantime, when you get up, sit at the edge of the bed/chair for a few moments, and then slowly rise to your feet. And keep getting those fluids in - maybe even increase if you can.
Hope you feel better!
