Dizziness - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TheGreatPretender · 04-17-2005, 06:58 PM

Whenever I get up from sitting or laying down for a long time, I always get dizzy. Like you know when after you get your picture taken you have white spots in front of your face from the flash? That's how I feel when that happens. Does anyone know what that could be? Is that I'm out of shape? I've been doing some kind of excersice everyday since Februrary though.

sarah's adventures in dizziness

however it's been bothering me lately.

I used to get that feeling too,and the doctor told me that it was due to low blood pressure,so you might want to check that out.People who experience dizziness should report it to their doctor. A doctor can identify what is causing the dizziness.

I told a lady I work with that I feel like that all the time. Ill be working and all of a sudden BOOM its as if I could fall right over. A couple of times Id see black too. Im also always really cold and tired- certain times of the day my body will just shut down and I could pass out sleeping and she told me its probably from low blood pressure and I should get it checked out.

I have the same problem. The doctor told me to drink plenty of fluids; especially the ones like Gatorade with electrolytes...the lack of potassium makes your blood pressure drop

Titania · 04-17-2005, 07:35 PM

low blood pressure most likely.

if it isnt that, get your inner ears checked...pretty sure i told me ear issue story in sarah's dizzy thread- but thats another scenario.

dawsongirl · 04-17-2005, 09:18 PM

Yeah, that's definetly something to check into. Are you on some kind of meds? A lot of meds (especially ones that play around with your brain chemicals) can cause dizziness.

Exactly what I was going to suggest. Its usually low BP. See your doctor, but you can also google "low blood pressure symptoms" and checkout what comes up. It'll list all the different symptoms and may help with the diagnosis.

My mom says it's because I sometimes eat late at night. I don't understand how that could cause dizziness.

I agree! If anything, dizziness can be caused by hunger so I'm not sure why that would be.

Gee...I eat at 3am before I go to bed. Doesn't affect me that way.

Same here - I've never found that and I frequently eat just before crashing (althought that probably isn't good but more for acid reflux).

It may also be low blood sugar. Get it checked out.

Actually if it were hypoglycemia, there would be many more symptoms - sweating, shaking, heart palipatations, crankiness, headache, blurring of vision, etc..

It's more likely to be low BP, but either way it should be looked into.

Oh meangya, Ive had some of those people. I HATE when my sugar drops. I was driving with Amanda and her bro and we went to Shop&Save because I was hungry, but when we got there they were PISSING ME OFF so I screamed and got back in the car, drove them home and kicked them out. Then I went home, had something to eat, and came back all happy. Ugh.
