Dizzies!

Hello everyone! I was wondering why I'm so dizzy everytime I get up especially when I bend down or over I get up and almost fall over??? This is new as of 2days!! It's driving me crazy! Thanks

Hello, thanks no I dont take blood pressure meds, but wow this dizzy stuff is really getting to me! I have a doc apt tomorrow so I will ask them while Im there! Thanks a bunch!

What you're experience is called Orthostatic hypotension. It occurs typically when a person goes from either a seated or lying position to standing. According to Wikipedia certain blood pressure lowering meds and psychiatric medications can create this temporarily. When I was early out I had this problem really bad. I do have it once in a while but not like before. I hope this helps!

I was the same way for a few months after surgery, it could be blood pressure meds but I had it and never took anything like that, I would say maybe lack of food but I'm not sure, just be careful and it should go away in time.

are you getting your fluids in?  when this happens to me its because of my fluid intake.. i will increase my fluids (i have had trouble getting them all in since my surgery) and this always helps me!  sounds to me like you may be getting dehydrated
