Need serious help. Been feeling light headed for a week

[AshopRep]

Well the fact this started 5 weeks after the surgery leads me to believe it's not related. Maybe it's stress, but why did it happen when it did and why doesn't it ever go away?

Does your light headedness ever go away?

Btw, the doctor checked my ears and it's not an ear infection.

Jeesh man, you've had a run of bad luck. Hang in there buddy, and you'll get back to normal in no time.

As I mentioned you are probably fine and it has nothing to do with anxiety etc. Do you feel anxious or is it simply lightheadedness? Anxiety can start weeks after a certain stressful event... in a sense when your bodies defenses are down and it just hits. But we are probably going way off topic here. Let's just see how you are in 1 week.



Stress can do strange things to your body though so it may just be that. We are very sensitive physically and you have been through a lot.



Comparing you to me would be wrong. I recently found out anxiety runs in my family so all my past partying wouldn't have helped me. My anxiety started weeks after a stressful event when I felt great. Your lightheadedness will be down to something else. Time will tell but I wouldn't worry at all un less the dizziness starts getting worst.



I have had labyrinthitis before and that is no joke. But your ears are fine so that's a good thing. Keep me updated. 1 weeks is nothing and hopefully you start to feel better soon. Try not to stress about it though and hopefully it fades away.

You know, maybe it is labyrinthis, which would really suck since there is no cure. The doctor just shined his light in my ear. I didn't get a real test from an ear doctor.

You can say that again. 2014 has been a nightmare for me from a medical standpoint. I'm so used to doctor's offices at this point that they no longer scare me. I just want this all to be over so I can move forward with health scares.

Inflammation of the inner ear should be fairly easy to see but who knows. Next time you are at the docs get him to recheck just incase. My guess would be stress. It's definitely something so do all you can and cover all bases just so you know the cause. It's horrible feeling the way you do and not knowing why. At least if you find out the cause you can move forward to take certain steps to stop it.

I'm taking a pro biotic with breakfast every day.

Hematocrit was 45. It is up from 33 since surgery. I don't know if I should be alarmed that it's increased so much since my last set of bloods were drawn 5 1/2 weeks ago. It was increasing quickly before surgery too and I had to get frequent donations and a couple of phlebotomies. RBC's and hemoglobin in range too.

I'll read about glutathione and rhodiola as I have never heard of those things before.



Do you feel light headed constantly like I am? If I'm distracted, I forget about it but it's still there. It's a weird and crappy feeling. A light dizziness.

I check my bp often and it was checked every 15 minutes in the ER yesterday. Systolic was between 105-117 and diastolic between 61-80 every time it was checked.

The problem is that 93% of the probiotics contained in traditional probiotic supplements will be dead before they ever reach our gut and dead probiotics are completely worthless, take prebiotics.
Try to drink 1/2 cup of coffee caffeine is a vasoconstrictor. Vasoconstrictors shrink blood vessels throughout the body, which can help relieve pressure in the head that is causing a migraine.

When you say light headed, could you describe it as a brain fog light headed?
Maybe a cortisone saliva test to rule adrenal fatigue, very common after surgery or sickness.

 

[nothuman]

So I don't know what it was, but I stopped feeling so light headed. Yesterday is was more manageable and only came and went, wasn't constant. Today so far, I haven't really felt it yet that I could notice. Maybe it's going away.

I don't think you can really test for toxins in the colon.



you could play with pro/prebiotics.



glutathione is a great chelator and will up the entire function of your immune system, while detoxing most of what is already in your system.



im sure you had hemocrit tested, how was that? hemo globin? quality of the rbc's, shape?



I had someone that was really sensitive to the heat and had lowish blood pressure. she always complained of lack of energy and dizziness in hot and particularly humid weather rhodiola helped her a lot.

Activated charcoal and bentonite are good chelators. Try fasting, flushing your system with alkaline water, dosing charcoal followed by bentonite 3 hrs later in the AM, then again in the PM.

Have you checked for any food allergies? Might be worth cutting dairy, grains and sugars (including artifical) for 30 days. I did not have lightheadedness but did have extreme brain for and after 30 days I was feeling Much better!

[myosaurus]
