Jet Lag or Smog or both

Alright,

I left the Eastern Time zone August 15th arrived in Shanghai (12 hour dif) saturday night at 8:00 PM. I got somewhat sleep that night. We then walked around all day sunday (hot). TOwards the end of the day I started getting light headed from time to time. Now it's been every day for most of the day until I get back to the hotel. I was worried at first then I wasn't and played it off as jet lag or smog. I am stuff y as can be now and still getting light headed. So now I am like is that all it is. Is it a combination of jet lag, smog, and food diet change? I really don't want to be over dramatic and ask the company to take me to teh dr. THoughts?

Re: Jet Lag or Smog or both

Diet changes can definitely wreak havoc with your system. The jet lag can cause appetite changes as well as fatigue (your body clock is off from its normal routine).

If you have allergies and respiratory problems, the smog would not be good for you and it would be advisable to spend as little time outside as possible.

Light-headedness could be a sign of dehydration. Are you getting enough non-alcoholic and non-carbonated fluids? The newly recommended amount is one-half of your body weight in ounces per day.

Try upping your fluid intake as that may also help with the congestion (you need plenty of fluid in your body to rid yourself of allergens and mucus).

Hope you feel better soon!

Lindaru

Re: Jet Lag or Smog or both

Thanks for the advice. I do have bad sinus problems while in the states, I have not been having enough any type of fluid. I am going to the store today to get me some gallon water so I can actually have some other than two 10 oz bottles of water. Thanks for the advice.
