I need some advice I have been dizzy for the last 2 days. I have been getting in almost all my water like 50-65 oz a day and I have been eating all my meals (pureed still). I don't know what it can be any ideas I will be seeing my Dr tomorrow morning. But any ideas would be great this is getting sickening I have already missed one day of work and I will be calling in today also I can hardly make it to the bathroom. I have not passed out YET thankfully.

Keep pushing the fluids... maybe even increase them some if you can. Also, have your blood pressure checked. It could be low.

Hope this passes soon for you!

My experience with dizzy post Op, was low blood pressure, a couple od days after I got home. Immediate fix is Gatorade, to stabalize electrolites. Check with your doctor as soon as you can. Good Luck!

If your on meds for diabetes or high Bp, either one can be the culprit as well as low fluid volume, its good your seeing your Dr tomorrow, but maybe you should call him today, maybe he can get you in a little earlier. hope you feel better soon, walk walk and sip sip, and hang in there! it does get better.

how's ur urine output? Have u noticed u've been peeing less or less frequently? Decreased output is an early sign of dehydration... I would deffinately up ur fluids and maybe call and see if the dr can see u today. Another thing, as said above could be low sugar... IDK how many carbs u've been eating, but it probably wouldn't hurt to get a few extra in right now, especially if ur not going to the drs tommorrow cuz u don't wanna bottom out... Hope u feel better soon!

Whenever I was dizzy it was my fluids. Even if you are just short 10 oz a day it adds up. Think about if you are short like 4 or 5 days that is 40-50 oz. So try and push that fluid. But really if you are having difficulty making it to the bathroom and think you may pass out you really should go to the ER.
