Once I wS light headed, and even dizzy and it turned out to be dehydration. Drink drink drink

Perhaps someone else will have another thought.

Yes, I get it sometimes as well. I only take Mestinon. I'm guessing it has something to do with the disease process, and that crazy brainfog.

I definitely second Barbel's advice about staying hydrated as well.

Happy Holidays!!

Too much CO2 in the blood. When they check for Oxygen levels the results will come back fine, but they seldom check for CO2 levels -- and when they do us MGers show high levels. Don't know why -- perhaps it is the weakened diaphragm not expelling air efficiently. Deep breaths is the solution. Good luck! ~joe

Thanks, Joe. That might be it.

One of the listed side effects of prednisone is dizziness. I had that sometimes too and thought it was prednisone and my neuro said that it might be that, but did some additional checking before telling me that we could safely wait and see if it got better -- it did.

It is never safe to just chalk up new symptoms to a medicine or diet or something you are doing--you need to pass them along to your doctor so they can take it into consideration.

Good Luck and happy holidays

When I was at my worst, I was dizzy and prone to fainting all the time, especially in a hot shower or a warm room. I have a feeling it was largely to do with my poor breathing.

This just happened to me pulling sheets out of the dryer! It happens with the slightest exercise: stirring soup, standing in a grocery line, walking short distances. I feel better with sitting and resting. I do have slightly elevated CO2 levels and am only taking Mestinon and this happened to a greater extent before I started it. I likely have several overlapping autoimmune diseases so it is hard to figure out all symptoms. I am waiting to see a cardiopulmonary exercise physiologist in March as my heart rate races at times as well.

I experienced dizziness and nausea when I had double vision. Also when dehydrated. So drink lots of water and then drink some more! Also let your doctor know what is going on. Wishing you the best going forward.
