Light headed more and more!

 Hmmm,,well I am getting some light headed moments more and more oftenthat now I probably have one per day.  Before I thought it was because I was dehydrated but I tried to check and there's no way it's that since I drink 6-8 glasses everyday.  Then thought It could be a vit deficiency but everytime, my blood wrok is perfect.

Sometimes when I wake up in the night to go pee, I have to hold myself with a wall.  Tonight we were outside by the fire that I became so light headed that I told my husband so that he knew I was in case something happens.

In case someone will ask, I'm always above 70g at least per day with my protein.

Obviously have an appt with my health clinic but wanted opinions in case Someone can pin point something I can work on right away to see if it helps.

I still have my left ear that blocks but that is less and less everyday and almost gone.  Thank goodness, only been 10 months since surgery...lol

Thanks and any feedback even if you think it won't help, please  , it could help

Have a great weekend!

Have you checked your blood pressure or sugar levels.

 tytyty...lol...went and got my pressure cup and will check during the night when I get up...I know its not my sugar so we'll see

 What is your blood pressure like? I was speaking to a friend of mine tonight at his restaurant, he had a RNY in December and 2 weeks ago he was told he suffers from very low blood pressure. He actually passes out with it being so low. Just a thought.
I hope you get it figured out soon

Sounds like hypostatic hypotension. Many suffer from low BP. Make sure you change your position slowly. Sit on the side of the bed for a couple of minutes before standing. I would invest in a BP machine. Take it sitting and standing to see if it drops,

 I have one so I went and got it and placed it on noght stand for when I wake up during the night...tytytyty..lol...now is there something in my diet I can add/remove to help this so if its the problem, I won't need meds?

There are no meds for low bp. I have had low bp my whole life and now it's even lower. I was told to increase my sodium intake a bit.

my 16 year old nephew actually takes a med for low bp, the cardiologist prescribed it for him.  Can't remember the name of it, but he was also told to increase his sodium as well.

 Hi Nathalie,

I get the light headedness if I dont have even a snack every 4 hours. This usually happens when I am out in the day, never at night. For me it is reactive hypoglycemia (blood sugar goes too low). What a joke, my whole family is diabetic and I was headed that way too. That was one of the reasons I wanted the surgery, to avoid being a diabetic. I hate needles. Now I have to watch out for it being too low. I buy the Dex tabs to carry in my purse and a cheese stick. I always have a small snack before bed.  

Best to get your blood pressure and sugar tested again at the doc. Let us know what you find out. Good luck,
