Feeling Dizzy

HI all,

For maybe the past 3 or 4 months I have been experiencing dizziness when I stand up - this usually happens when I just get out of bed, or can happen sometime during the day. I think this might be due to low blood pressure - is that right? What sort of things can I do to help this situation?

Thankyou

Re: Feeling Dizzy

I've been experiencing the same thing, but for quite a bit longer. For at least a few years I get dizzy when I stand up from bed at different times during the day. My eyes go dark and I can't see anything for a few seconds and my legs feel "collapsy" or I guess a better word would be weak. It goes away after a few seconds, but it makes me wonder if something's really wrong. I don't think it's just a matter of standing up too fast. Thanks

It sounds like a head rush to me...

I've had it standing up before...even if I hadn't been sitting or lying and then stood up.

I used to get that way when my blood sugar was low (I'm not diabetic but I had severl nutritional defeciencies for a long time). I would go to work with not enough sleep, and all these defeciencies...then get stressed out and I would begin to shake.......feel dizzy....nauseous and then my eyes would go blank for a couple seconds and I would have to sit down.

It's very possible you have issues with blood sugar, or some nutritional defeciencies. Don't know how stressed you get, but slow down a bit and get alot of fiber, omega 3s, vitamin c and such........

Re: Feeling Dizzy

Well, I don't think it's stress related because I don't really get stressed out, but the low blood sugar thing is a possibility. When I haven't eaten in a while, I get very tired to the point where I think I'll pass out, but never do. Once I eat, I feel better. I just started taking omega-3s yesterday when I learned of all the good effects like energy. Hopefully that'll help. Thanks for your help.

Re: Feeling Dizzy

I also have that! When I haven`t eaten in while then I feel light headed and start shaking! Once I eat something then I`m fine.

Is low blood pressure a sign of diabetes?
