bubles089 35 Posted November 5, 2012 So over the past 4 days I have had horrible dizzy spells when I stand up. I am well hydrated and eating all my Protein. It's really bad when I get home from the gym. Yesterday I almost blacked out, I saw black spots and fell over. I am contacting my doctor tomorrow but I'm really freaked. Today it hasn't been that bad, but at least half the time when I stand I have to hold on to something. It's also when I lean over. It's worried because my job is a lot of leaning over. If I pass out at work it will be mortifying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3lilrams 37 Posted November 5, 2012 Check your BP...I do this sometimes. The other day I started feeling really bad, and was very dizzy. My BP was 98/60. My issue when I work out is I get a killer Migraine and get dizzy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

3lilrams 37 Posted November 5, 2012 I am 9 weeks post op. I'd say it has a lot to do with your body changes. Call your dr, just to make sure. But check all of your vitals too, just to stay safe! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beefalogal 43 Posted November 5, 2012 bubles089 are you on BP meds? If so they may have become too strong for you with your weight loss. My meds have been dramatically reduced since losing 45 pounds. My surgery was 9/20/12. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
