Headaches & Dizziness



Recommended Posts

Ok this past month I started with dizziness when i stand. Recently I had to go to the hospital because I had a severe head ache on my left side. I fell to the floor and next thing i know I'm bleeding profusely. I don't recall hitting my head, but the Dr. At the emergency seemed to have thought I blacked out and hit my head on something, which caused a concusion. A CT scan was done and everything seemed normal. My headaches got better with time.

However, yesterday I began with the headaches again. And today the dizziness started. I feel like all the blood rushes to my head, and I'm not fully conscience for a few seconds. I have to sit down until that feeling goes away. But it seems to be only when I stand up.

My Dr. Has ordered blood work and all the results come back normal. I don't know what's going on.

How far out from surgery are you? Have they also monitored your Protein and Fluid intake?

And yeah Protein was normal the last time they checked. I'm thinking maybe my bloodpressure is low? Idk.

Do you take BP meds? I know I do and have to watch it because I've had that issue before when I didn't need the meds anymore and was taking them. I know have a wrist BP machine to monitor it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
