Some test results back...dizzy/passing out

Debi, I had the same problems right after surgery. The one thing doctor still had me taking bp meds after surgery. Thus making my bp go real low. So I asked him to take me off of them, and ever since then my dizzy spells went away. For a while there I was getting real scared, I actually passed out one time. Hope this is helpful.

Take Care Richard

I understand the light headed and dizzy's.. I have expereienced them also.. never passed out... When I had a phyiscal a few months ago, everything checked out fine. So have no idea.

Good luck on friday, Hope everything comes out okay.

hope you feel better soon and they can get this figured out!!!

 

Hey Debi, oh, our lives as pin cushions!?!!!  Sure hope and pray  this all gets taken care of.  I know low potassium levels also cause diziness, though that would definitely appear int he blood workup.  Take care of you!  Oceans of luv and hugs galore, Patti

Vitalady may be able to help you once all your labs are back. I'd trust her any day over a doctor, especially when it comes to interpreting labs!

Good luck, Debi!

There is strong chance this suggestion may be stupid, but have you ever thought about upping your sodium/salt intake a bit?  That's one of the first things they tell you to drop when your blood pressure is HIGH, so perhaps a bit of salt on your food could help up the BP a smidge?  It would also cause you to retain a little water, and dehydration can cause the dizzies, too, so....?

Debi,

Don't be surprised if they don't find anything.  About the same time during my post-surgery life that you are now I experienced the same exact thing.  Everytime I stood up I almost blacked out and had to hold on to the wall until everything came back into focus.  I too did the blood tests and they couldn't find out anything wrong. 

I'm actually starting to experience again and know that I'm not getting in enough protein everyday, so I have to work on that.

All to say that they might not be able to pinpoint the problem and it may just be a phase that we go through on this journey.  For me it did subside until just recently - hopefully the same will happen to you.

None-the-less, I do hope that they can come up with an answer for you.  Take care and keep us updated.

Tracy

Thanks,

It's getting bad some days.  Tonight I was at bible study and sitting there talking with the ladies and the room just started to spin.  I wasn't even moving, except I had moved my head.  I hope it goes away soon.
