Light-headed - BP dropping

[SageTracey 608]

Well it's back to my GP for me. For almost a week now I have been getting light-headed and dizzy, particularly in the mornings. I think my blood pressure is coming down as a result of losing weight (27kg so far), and it's time to have my BP meds reviewed. Yay!

Awesome...Congrats on your weight loss! You are doing great!

I actually am experiencing the same thing, but usually only when I stand from a sitting or laying position. Time to make a dr. appt too!

i'm having the same problem, except i never had high blood pressure and am not on any medications. i have been feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and grouchy on and off for two weeks. i went to have some Fluid taken out before my period (i thought it was due to PMS) because i could barely get down a single Protein Shake in a day and was frightened by the way i'd been feeling. so they took some out and i gained 3 lbs in a week, yikes! last thursday i had them put the .5cc back in and i'm feeling exactly the same way i did before. two things about this are weird in that i felt find and could drink as much Water as i wanted in the days following my fill--it's just the last 4 days or so that i'm having a lot of trouble with food and water. the second is that i had this same amount of fluid in my band for six weeks before i started feeling badly. i'm genuinely nervous that i'm going to fall over or faint, but the NP/fill lady read my blood pressure as 90/60 she thought that was good! that seems too low and i feel like crap, but i'm afraid to get much taken out because i really want to keep losing weight. that said, i'd like to stay alive even more. has anyone else experienced dehydration or low blood pressure? what did you do about it? i'm confused--maybe the way i'm feeling has nothing to do with the lab band at all? why didn't my doctor who is normally overly cautious seem concerned? ugh, maybe no one can help or i just need to go see my GP, but it helps to vent a little
