Not sure what happened

I woke up this morning around 3 and was coughing my head off, had a head ache. So I sat up in bed......got real dizzy.....sat for a few. Got up and couldn't walk straight. My equal librium (sp) was off. I got my tylenol and made it to the bathroom. Took it and some cough meds. I have never felt like this. I have also had the runs for a day now. I think that was due to fruit. Now I stepped on the scale this morning and am down to 175...that's 70 lbs in less than 4 months. I am kinda concerned. Has anyone experienced this? I am sorry this is so long and TMI. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. Corinn

hey corinn! don't know about the weight loss (that does sound like a lot but you go girl!). it does sound like you have a sinus infection though...i had a bad one and had the same dizziness and coughing, stuffy, etc. if that is the case you need antibiotics to get rid of it. feel better girl! christine

Thanx Christine. I plan in calling my PCP Monday. Corinn

Well what you have could be due to a lot of factors but you know you should go and see your doctor and not rely on people here to second guess this...... there are many virus's going around right now but for us some of these viruses can make us a bit more ill. Be careful you are not dehydrated because that can make us more ill and even hospitalized until they can get enough fluids back in us. Your weight loss is not exceptionally high really as we all lose at different rates so I would not be overly concerned about that. Just make sure you have taken all of your supplements and protein etc and CALL YOUR DOCTOR just to be on the safe side. I hope you feel much better soon Jackie

Thanx Jackie, I know I need to call my dr but they aren't open on weekends. I will call Monday. Just wanted to see if this happened to anyone else. Corinn

If you still feel bad and your equalibrium s still off you could go to the emergency room - remember we are a little different from "normies" so please do not take any chances.... Jackie

Thanx Jackie, I am still trying to remember I am "made" different. I will let you know what the dr says. I won't take any chances. Thank you so much for your concern. I didn't mean for the other post to sound snotty. I truely respect everyones opinion on this board. Thanx again Corinn

Corinn, loL! I never took the last post as being snotty - I am just concerned that if your symptoms continue that you wait until Monday and then you could be seriously ill. In the end, of course, it is up to you what you choose to do. But please, please do not take any chances with your health. I don't want you to learn the hard way.... Jackie

Hey Corrin, I am sorry that you are feeling so poorly! Did you have high blood pressure before surgery? If so and you have still been taking your medication, it could be low blood pressure. Or it could be the flu bug that has been going around. I agree with everyone else - give your doc a call, and I wouldn't wait until Monday. I hope you get this all straightened out quickly! Let me know what it turns out to be! BTW - Congrats on your fantastic weightloss! You are really doing awesome! I hope I do that well! Keep up the good work - you're gonna be a skinny minny before we know it! Hugs, Robin

Goodness gracious girlie! I hope you're feeling better and you've gotten to the Dr! BTW - that weightloss is wondermous! Congrats! xo Joy
