Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 I have read that low water consumption can cause both dizziness and migranes. I'm not sure how you are on your water but try to increase it if you are not getting in enough. I'm someone to be telling you this since I'm having nausea all day along with dizziness and I know it's the lack of water consumption for me. I sure hope that water is all it takes to make you feel better! About the other symptoms you're having I just don't know.

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 That used to happen to me -- the dizziness.. my blood sugar was plummeting and I needed to get something in me so I would have a glass of milk or some cheese or whatever else was around to get me going. After I ate or drank something, the dizziness would go away. Rasley mailto: drasley@...

Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 Definitely talk to your dr. right away. This could be dangerous for you, what if you were driving? Try and keep a snack handy wherever you are. Crackers, cookies or anything that will keep your blood sugar up. It sounds like you're going too long without eating. You could be hypoglycemic. Also keep up with your fluids. If you don't get enough it can cause headaches, but severe headaches as the ones you describe could be something worse like Toxemia. Definitely talk to your OB doc. right away! 9 months post op -107 pounds 8 weeks pregnant with number 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2004 Report Share Posted February 8, 2004 How is your blood pressure? The reason I ask is because with my first pregnancy, I kept headaches and was often dizzy as a result of high bp. I had pre-eclampsia (toxemia). I would check with your OB, whatever the cause, this doesn't sound like something that should go unchecked. Good luck! Lori Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Lea My son had this for years and still at times. I have had it only a couple of times. My son was told it might be a migraine equivalent, partial complex seizure or autonomic. Since he has all, they never did decide which it was. Mine was when I was crashy, so I think that was the trigger for me. I hope it doesn't happen too often. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 10:29:56 -0500 > To: > > Subject: Dizziness > > > > Hi everyone, > > I have a question about dizziness.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Hi Laurie, Thanks for your reply. I have wondered if it is related to migraine...although I don't have a " typical " migrane problem, when I get fatigued I do get a lot of pressure building in my head. I went to a neurologist a few years ago and he was pretty useless. I had dizziness then, but it is not " typical " . He didn't do any tests, only an exam. I have been wondering if I should try to go to another neurologist. I would like to at least get an MRI. The dizziness also seems to correlate with my feeling worse than usual. Interesting. I wonder how mito can cause equilibrium problems? (BTW, I have complex I defect). I have more muscle pain and weakness than usual at present, and also the dizziness.

Guest guest Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Lea I also have a complex I defect, so it is assumed that my son has it as well. He was the most symptomatic in the family when young, but has improved gradually. He has had a horrible time with migraines since a toddler (or before) and had confirmed partial complex seizures which seem to have gone away. The room spinning and tilting is not the usual dizziness from what I have been told. My son would close his and hang on until it passed. If it persisted, he would crawl in bed and cover his head, just as he did with a migraine. Our lab would then stand watch over him. laurie > > Reply-To: > Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2005 14:14:34 -0500 > To: > > Subject: Re: Dizziness > > > > > Hi Laurie, > > Thanks for your reply.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 lea, I have had intermittant problems with room spinning dizziness for about 6 years. I have been tested for iner ear problems and they don't think it's from that, but meanwhile it just keeps happening- very disconcerting.I have just accepted it as part and parcel of whatever disorder I do have, As soon as it starts, i lie down and close my eyes until it passes if i can.
