smithpy 117 Posted August 26, 2013 I noticed that I get dizzy from time to time especially if I'm standing for a long time. Wonder if its dehydration or something else. Pamela Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinathart 197 Posted August 26, 2013 I find I get dizzy when I stand up from sitting, pretty much every time. My BP is good, so I'm not sure what the deal is. I'm going to bring it up at my 9 month follow up this week. I'm guessing it has to do with low carb/low sugar levels? I'll let you know what my Dr. says about it. 1 smithpy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notime 340 Posted August 26, 2013 There are many reasons a person could be dizzy frequently. Some of these reasons are serious. Make sure you are getting your fluids in if you suspect dehydration and see your PCP to pinpoint the cause. We can't/shouldn't diagnose this. 1 TwinsMama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinathart 197 Posted August 26, 2013 Sorry, I should have said I suspect "my" dizziness is from low carb/low sugar. Mine is not from dehydration. I drink over 100 oz of Water a day. I'll be meeting with my Dr. on Thursday. I didn't mean to come across as diagnosing anything. I'm a programmer, not a medical professional. 2 TwinsMama and GoldyGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddyJoe 246 Posted August 26, 2013 I would check your Blood pressure. Even if it is good, have them take it while sitting, then stand up and have them take it again. I play the trumpet, and was having issues with getting dizzy while I played. My doctor ended up taking me off my blood pressure medication, because it was dropping too low when I stood up, and when I was playing. It is now perfect at all times.

smithpy 117 Posted August 29, 2013 Decided to start tracking my food. I think it maybe the Iron supplements. Pamela Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smithpy 117 Posted September 3, 2013 Haven't taken Iron in 5 days and feel fine. So that was it. I'll try to add it back with a slow release version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anniemay 150 Posted September 8, 2013 Your bp drops when you stand up. Try taking it sitting and then standing. This happened to me and I was taken off bp meds. My doc said any number under 110 (on top) is getting in the low range and will cause these symptoms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
