Chesney 21 Posted January 23, 2018 Hey guysSo had my surgery this time last year at my heaviest I was 21 stone or 131kg and over the last year I have lost over 9 stone, back the gym regularly.However just recently I have noticed I have been having small dizzy spells, I think it is low blood pressure, a midwife friend said it could hypoglycaemia. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like thisMy food diary is typical to this Breakfast 8:30200ml granola 200ml semi skimmed milk200ml fresh orange snack 10:002 hard boiled eggslunch 12:30Wrap with salad and various meat filling each daySnack10calorie jelly potdinnerGenuinely chicken, rice and veggies I don’t drink tea or coffee so it’s diluting juice mainly which I would say I am not bad at drinking (could always be better) Any advice on foods or experience would be greatly appreciated Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abefroman329 704 Posted January 23, 2018 I was getting really dizzy a few weeks after surgery and finally collapsed and then went to the doctor. According to her, it was one or all of the following: 1) Hypotension 2) Dehydration 3) Standing up from lying down too quickly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danny Paul 761 Posted January 23, 2018 My dizziness after surgery was caused by low blood pressure. Stopped my blood pressure medications and the problem was corrected. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shedo82773 1,236 Posted January 23, 2018 I had a very bad insulin problem: I went for my walk (as I always did) when i got home I decided that I needed to rake the leaves. I became so dizzy and weak I almost didn't make it in the house. I checked my blood sugar, it was 294. Before this (I was diabetic before I lost my weight) I was confused because my BS had been in the 120's. I drank a Protein Drink and headed to lie down. When I finally went to see my DR he looked at my ledger and seen what had happened. He told me that I had REACTIVE BLOOD SUGAR. My blood sugar had dropped so low that my Pancreas kicked out lots of insulin, that is why I had the super high BS. Strange but true. I hope you figure it all out. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
