Mornings and strange symptoms. HELP.

[MissErika 65]

I wasn't sure which forum to put this on. Sorry if this is the wrong place for this.

I never was a morning person but now I just can't stand it! In the morning I get nauseated, dizzy and very exhausted like I haven't slept in years. It doesn't matter if I get 6 hours, 8 hours or 10 hours. I can't seem to shake that and it happens almost every morning. This is a big issue because I have work, which requires me to get up at 4am. If I let my body wake up naturally, my symptoms are gone or very minimal. What gives? My mom thinks I'm making this up I think.

Also I have a constant popping in my ear that has been here for three days. Going to see a doctor about that. I am also breaking out EVERYWHERE on my body because I constantly itch, which causes a rash when I start to itch. My mom thinks it's a food allergy - I think it's because of my omeprazole.

Did anyone else have this problem or recommend any tips for me to move past this?

Also, I am 5 weeks out for anyone who is curious. Almost 6.

Oh and I'm definitely not pregnant - in case anyone thinks that.

Is there any chance you could have a sinus infection or congestion? That could cause the dizziness and ear popping (and maybe nausea if you have drainage). Otherwise, the morning symptoms could be low blood sugar? I'm just guessing. The itching/rash sounds more allergy related. Either a medicine, Vitamin or something coming in contact with your skin. I would check with your doctor (because I am definitely not one!)

Yes, go to the doctor, honey. You also might have Vitamin deficiencies going on in addition to other viral issues. Good luck.

I haven't had any sinus infection or congestion. The ear is the only thing, which is strange. I took a claritan yesterday but the popping remained. The only time my ear doesn't pop is when I lay on it. ;S

I could be having low blood sugar but I can't eat for hours after waking up (thyroid, carafate and my omeprezole all have to be within 30 mins to an hour of each other) so I need to see how to fix that. :l

I could look into my foods and see. Do you think you can develop food allergies after VSG? I never had any before. Thank you for replying.

Ugh. I know I do. I always did have Vitamin deficiencies (it runs in my family too, which is weird)

I'm going today. I just needed to rant to people. Thank you for replying.

And I didn't want to post this in complications because it's not nearly as bad as other people are going through (leaks, etc)

Just a suggestion but may be worth a try..Before you go to bed tonight have a little extra something. Maybe a piece of cheese or yogurt or something. I know eating before bed is a no-no. But if you are experiencing low blood sugar in the a.m., perhaps it will help. Best advice though, see your doctor.

That's a good idea. Thinking back... I had turkey and a little cheese one night about 15 minutes before bed and I woke up fine that next morning but I stopped because I didn't want my acid reflux returning and I only want to eat when I'm hungry. Thank you!

These are questions for your Doctor!! I would call and make an appointment.

Could also be dehydration. My eczema has been much worse since my surgery, and I think it is mainly because I get dehydrated and my skin is dry. I try to keep my Water up and use lotion.

I noticed a lot more skin issues right after surgery, and they slowly got better. I think it's the body saying, oops, got to heal this big thing right now, I'll get back to you little stuff. I also think it's very possible it's a medication reaction (sometimes they do that, and if you're not processing it all like you used to...)

As to the morning issues - I take thyroid medicine and can't eat for half an hour after, and if they all have to be spaced out... definitely ask the doctor!

Good luck, and don't worry about ranting! We all do it, or need to do it, sometimes.

Thank you. I also have thyroid medication and need to take carafate and my acid reducer spaced apart. I've been trying to use lotion and stay hydrated but I guess it's not good enough right now.

I have an appointment today with my PCP at 2! And I have a post-op appointment with my surgeon tomorrow. I will definitely try to figure all this out.

Thank you (everyone) for all of the support.
