Dizziness

Hey guys i got a question for u...yeeeears ago when i did the atkins diet i used to get dizzy spells when i would get up from being sitting down or laying down aaaand now im 3mth postop and its started again this week...sometimes i feel like im gonna pass out..am i getting up too fast?..is this dehydration or lack of protein?

it could be a lot of things including a deficiency in iron. I would call your dr to see whats going on. i hope you figure it out and get better soon.

If you are on BP meds you should touch base with your doctor. That sounds like a BP issue and you might needs your meds adjusted.

it could also be dehydration. the classic test for dehydration (or what they told me when i was in the ER for it years ago) is that if your BP goes down when you stand up quickly, it's a good chance that's what it is.

could also be a blood sugar issue as well. for me now, if i start feeling a little light headed, it's a sign i need to eat
