Re: Does anyone else ever experience dizziness after the xolair injections?

[Guest guest]

One time I felt flushed and a little lightheaded this was when i first started

shots and I attributed it to some possible anxiety. I have never had that issue

again.

I would not assume that your dizziness and brief fainting episode were

due to Xolair even though they were associated in time. It's very

important that you see your primary for evaluation ASAP - Fran

There are many, many causes of fainting (syncope). I

would suggest a trip to see your family doctor.

I've had it (dizziness and sense of faintness) but it's been immediate

and very brief. On a couple of occasions there has been the slightest

hint of nausea but also very brief and went away very quickly. It

occurred the most when I moved up the injection date by one day to

accomodate travel. I felt like laying down for a few minutes

afterward. Since there was no difficulty breathing and no swelling or

rash or any other sign of allergic reaction I just chalked it off as a

fluke because it was so minor and transient.

Also, I've never actually fainted. The last time I injected (2 weeks

ago today) I didn't notice any dizziness afterward. Come to think of

it, maybe it's occurred more when I inject in my stomach although I

haven't kept any records. I assumed (think I've said this before) that

it's from scrunching over a very chubby tummy (mine) and probably

reducing my oxygen for a minute not to mention slightly displacing

stomach contents. (Forgive me if anyone's eating while reading!)

It's also seemed sometimes it's more likely to occur when I'm in a

hurry (although I NEVER rush the shots) or particularly stressed about

something. Tonight is another round of Xolair injections - 375 mgs (3

shots) so I'll see if I feel anything this evening since I'm p.o.'d at

a doctor!

I stand to get my shots in my arms (one shot a month in alternating arms), so if

I ever was dizzy I would attribute it to having stood so still while I was

getting the shot. The nurses who give me the shots give them verrrry slowly

(which is the way it is supposed to be given) and so I am standing very still.

Today I had no reaction of any kind. Had a busy day the rest of the day and am

still up at 12:00, but am beginning to fade! I do feel a little drowsy

sometimes after I have had the shot, but I rarely lie down and take a nap after

a shot, even if I feel a little drowsy. Usually have too much going on--like

caring for a 4 year old granddaughter and then teaching piano lessons after

that.

Have a great breathing day--hope all of you get some rest tonight.
