Dizziness

[jessicavtec1 14]

Going on to 4 weeks on Tuesday. But lately I've been getting dizzy. Is that normal? If any one can answer this ? It would be helpful.

I'm also about 4 wks out. I saw my doc last week and told him I'm often dizzy and get light headed when I stand up, he said it was likely from too little Water and/or too little Protein.

@@sunflowerchild is right. I went through this with chemo and now. It has gotten better with more fluids. I thought I was getting enough by my body needed more. I wish it could just send me a text instead of making me dizzy. LOL

Yea I do feel that I don't get enough Water I try. But it's very hard. So sunflower what stage of eating are you on. Some suggestions cause I'm kind of bored what I'm eating.

I am 3.5 months out and still get dizzy often when I stand up. I get 60-70 grams of Protein a day and even days when I get all my Water in it still happens. I wonder if it's just because I don't eat very much.

I'm cleared for normal eating now so I don't know how much I can sympathize with the food thing. Have you tried the ricotta bake? That was one of the best things I had on my previous stage. I also really enjoyed turkey pepperoni baked with mozzarella cheese (obviously make sure you chew very very well). I also found some really great recipes online that you can make with Greek yogurt.

Jesswls, you are absolutely right!!! More than likely, the dizziness is due to low blood sugar from not getting adequate calories/nutrition.

Jessicavtec1, I hope your dizziness clears up soon. I know what that feeling is like, and it's not exactly fun
