Has Anyone Gotten Light Headed



Recommended Posts

Has anyone experienced any dizzyness or light headed my doctor says it may be from dehydration. I think I'm getting enough Protein in (I think). I haven't seen a post about this yet (I think) I'm a man it could be right in front of me and I would miss it. Maybe I should ask my wife (lol)

And one more thing does anyone get achy at night kind of like your arms and legs are tired

Hey Paul...you're not crazy. I've been getting the dizzy/off balance feeling. Not constant but definitely something I never had. I attributed mine to needing more fuel in my body.

As for the aches...yes have those too. Almost feels like I have that restless leg syndrome.

Unfortunately, any Protein I eat/drink does not stay down so I am having trouble getting any protein.

I get light headed everytime I stand up quick or bend over, or getting up out of bed. went to the dr. and found out my blood pressure was dropping to low. So I was instructed to intake all my fluids, and add a little salt in my diet to elevate pressure. So far it doesnt happen nearly as much, since I started what they told me.

i got this light headed and disiness for allmost 7 weeks after surgery. it is a normal step. when i started to drink more it became better. what help me more is mixing my Water with electrolyte powder i buy at the pharmacy. i am on my 8 week and still get a bit of disiness when i over exercise at the gym. i recommend taking it easy and drink the water with electrolytes.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
