Dizzy, light headed... low bp



Recommended Posts

I’m 9 months post op and have been getting light headed and dizzy a lot this past week. Never had high bp preop, but I checked today and I’m low. 90/60. Anyone has this?

Also this week I almost passed out three times while visiting a family member in the hospital. I don’t know if it was the intensity, the temperature or what but it was strange for me.

Last labs were good a few weeks ago, still a little low on Iron but the rest were stable and normal, aside from my good cholesterol, it’s pretty low.

Thoughts?

Have you checked your blood sugar? This sounds like it could be a possibilty that you are having hypoglycemic episodes.

I hope not but you would do well to see a Dr as soon as possible.

      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...

        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.
