2 possible things.

1. Dehydration - You have to stay on top of that.

2. Malnutrition - Make sure you're getting the right vitamins.

I have been having dizzy spells too. My doctor says it could be dehydration and tells me to make sure I'm getting enough water. I take my vitamins everyday and recently had my vitamin level checked -- all levels were perfect. I am trying to make sure I get plenty of water but every now and then I will have another dizzy spell.

I too and wondering if others have experienced the same.

When my blood pressure was too low, I would get dizzy easily. Specifically when I sat up or stood up. Have you had your BP checked lately?

Be sure to drink plenty of water, you could be dehydrated.

No I haven't had my blood pressure checked I do drink water through out the day maybe not enough I need to track it better. Thank you everyone.

Mora- I agree, it might be dehydration. I had a little headache yesterday and I think it was a bit of dehydration. Even though I feel like I constantly drink, I am now eating soft foods for breakfast, lunch and dinner so I have to wait the extra time before and after meals and I find that makes a difference in the amount I can get in each day. And I actually have felt true thirst, something I never did in the past. I actually got up 1/2 hour earlier today so I could get in 16 ozs with my meds and have time to eat breakfast before work. Feel better! Kathy

I have not yet had the surgery, but started having dizzy spells, much as you describe. I was diagnosed with Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. When I have a bout of it I take a medication that helps it go away after a day or two.

If the vitamins and hydration don't help - check with your doctor.

Hope this helps

I havent had the surgery yet either but the best thing you can do for yourself is listen to the advise of those who went before you - they have probably lived through every possible scenario you can imagine and then some. If what they suggested with the dehydration turns out okay and its not that, then check the vertigo, that I can speak on because I too have it and I am on medication for those times when it flares up. Either way, consult your doctor - it's always better to be safe than sorry - Blessings.

There were two things I considered too! I was on Blood pressure meds and the doctor had to adjust the meds and finally discontinue it altogether my bp was too low. Plus, we are losing weight at such a rapid rate that I was getting up and moving faster than my body and mind was used to. When I started slowing down alittle it went away all together. Hope this helps!

I am an ER nurse, and reading over your symptoms, I would also guess dehydration. Try to increase fluids, but also change positions slowly, this will help with the dizzy spells. Dangle feet for a minute before getting up, etc...Good luck!

Thank you everyone. I think it was dehydration I drank more fluids through out the day and relaxed and I feel much better today. Thank you all so much for your feed back I appreciate it.
