Who Experiences Dizziness?

Jenniferswe

Christmas is the roughest time of year for me due to a traumatic event that told you about here a short time ago.  Not only am I very depressed, my body is falling apart.  My body feels like it's turning into stone with severe fatigue.  I'm expiriencing a lot of dizziness.  I've almost fallen down several times.  I'm having memory trouble.  My son caught me leaving the bathroom having left the sink faucet on full.  I've never done that before.

Jenn you can try a couple of things. First, your electrolytes might be off balance...drink some pedi lite. If you don't take a multi vit with vit b 12,6, magnesium and vit d...these are all really important for your daily health. Try to drink at least 40oz if water, you could be dehydrated which causes weakness and dizziness.

I would call your doctor and have him/her check you out sweetie....It could be inner ear... A number of things but I would hate for you to be hurt

I have memory problems as well... I think it may be med related but my pdoc thinks it's stress/anxiety

Please let us know how you are if you talk with your doc..... Big hug.....xo

Beloved, this could also be heart related so please get a physical check up. I know someone who had stroke like symptoms at church and refused to go to the emergency room (pre-covid). I was so worried, I knew she needed to seek help right then but she refused and her husband refused and that was part of her stroke so her husband should have forced her into care. So don't wait, get medical help.

I tried getting medical help but all you get is a phone appt. with the dr. and they said it was Vertigo due to stress. Because of Covid-19, all attention goes to that and everything gets a back seat.

Hugs everyone.

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
