Light headed

[SageTracey 608]

I am suffering from light headedness that makes me feel as though I am going to faint. So far I haven't fainted but I have had times where I have had to sit or lie down.

I suspect it is by blood pressure dropping too low but the last time I saw my dr about this my blood pressure was the same as normal. I am still on one tablet for BP.

I am seeing my dr again tomorrow as I can't keep going like this. Apart from blood pressure, does anyone else have any ideas what could be going on? I would like to go into my dr appointment with as much information as possible.

Thanks everyone.

Does it seem to happen at certain times, or can you not pinpoint it? Like, when you stand up or get out of bed?

It does sound like blood pressure. I had the same problem before my BP meds got reduced. I could not give my BP pill up completely, but take 2.5 mg pill. Good luck. Karen

I was experiencing the same thing about five months ago , and I just about passed out at my bowling league. I was light headed, dizzy .

I found I was keeping my calories way to low and my carbs way to low .

As soon as I added more carbs into my life and added more calories I have not had a single problem with getting light headed .

Do you get tunnel vision as well as the dizzyness? I used to get tunnel vision when I ate really really low calories in college.
