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?

I'm 24 weeks out. I drink Fluid all day long! I cannot live without my diet lipton tea and Water...lol

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

I just wanna feel healthy again.

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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
