RE: Severe Spinning Dizzyness, Nausea, Sweating Episodes in the Night

Bonnie:

I checked the Mr. Noodle pkg and it contains MSG. One would think if

MSG was the problem she would have an episode after consuming Mr. Noodle

which she has had frequently. These severe episodes would be more

frequent. Episodes seem to occur with a larger quantity of food and

foods requiring longer digestion times like fats and proteins. I

suppose it is worth cutting out all MSG for a week and checking for

appetite improvement. We do not use MSG on our meat.

Do you or your daughter have Low B.P on standing so that you need to

take in more salt to help it, or Marfans features with your EDS?

Severe Spinning Dizzyness, Nausea, Sweating Episodes

in the Night

Bernie - do you use any MSG products on your meat? I have had a

reaction to MSG in Chinese Food and the medical profession calls it

'Chinese Food Syndrome " - a reaction to MSG in the Chinese Food. It

causes severe nausea, extreme dizziness/vertigo (vertigo is when the

whole room is spinning, not just feeling dizzy). I was so bad that I

had to have Ray (my hubby) help me to the bathroom to vomit!!! I've

never ever gone back to that Chinese Restaurant.

The other thing is to see if her body can tolerate proteins...not sure

what type of test would need to be done...

I don't know if MSG can be accumulative in the tissues or not...sorry..

I was just at an electrophysiologist on Friday for this very thing. I have had

low blood pressure since I was a kid and would start to faint when I would stand

up. I've learned to stand up/sit up slowly.... The MD said to increase my salt

intake and increase fluid intake. She also suggested compression stockings

available at Walgreens, etc. I can do the 1st to but not the last as when I had

tried spandex nylons/support nylons they killed my feet/toes....

My loves extra salt so she may be listening to her body to keep her

blood pressure up. She has low blood pressure too but not so low that she

faints.

Of the list of POTS symptoms, I had 30 of them! I gave the info to the MD but

she didn't even look at them or question me about them. She offered a holter

monitor but the couple of times i've used them in the past - they never picked

up the fast heart rate or what felt like skipping beats...so why spend the

money???

I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't missing anything as it's been 10

years since I was to an eletrophysiologist...
