Dizziness

[cbug123 8]

I had the sleeve done almost three months ago. Today at work I almost passed out. I was hot and clamy and sweating. I had the shakes. They caught me just in time and put a cloth on my neck. They sent me home and I called my doctor and they told me to just push fluids. Anybody had this happen. Or any suggestions as to what you would do?

Are you on blood pressure meds? Had you eaten recently? Are you dehydrated? Blood sugar drop?

Meds may need to be reduced, you may have had a reaction to a food, or something else. May not be sleeve related. I would follow my doctors instructions.

No I'm not on medication. Yes and not maybe a little dehydrated. Not sure thats what they thought. This happened two hours ago and I still feel like crap.

I've had dizziness and near faints too. My doctor's office advised me to increase my fluids which I was incredulous of, because I was drinking Water like mad etc.

But it really was the answer for me. I began spacing my drinking more evenly and increased my salt intake to retain the Water. I have definitely improved.

Hope you feel better soon.

This happened to me a few times also, its usually related to what my diet consisted of the day before or not enough fluids and/or if I had coffee in the morning and let too much time pass before getting Breakfast Protein in.

Even still I think my blood sugar drops early morning and I hate when I'm driving and this happens. I believe we are just still early out. Its only 10 weeks for me, but every day is a learning experience.

too much sugar in something you ate? i had a rude awakening when i thought all plain, low fat greek yogurt was low in sugar when it isnt....cabot's is the only one i have come across with low sugar... but too high of sugar does to me what you described....i am 1.5 months from sleeve.
