Re: lightheadedness and headache

June 20, 2000

You are possibly experiencing low blood sugar. I am diabetic and that is what

happens to me when my blood sugar drops. I am on the pills and am during better

by controlling things by diet.

After lightheadedness and headache, I get the sweats, the " shakes " and

experience confusion and frustration because I lack the ability to speak. When

my sugar gets back to normal my headache worsens a bit and I am extremly

fatigued. I just want to curl up and go to sleep.

Hi Lynn,

I have had symptoms of lightheadedness and headache at times, and

sometimes I feel shaky, which doesn't make sense, since I am eating good

protein and vegetables. Of course, up until last week I was eating lots of

chocolate every day, and pita bread (whole wheat)! There is something else

that I hesitated to put on here, but what the heck! One day I had a lot of

dicomfort in the lower abdomen, and then kept passing large amounts of mucus.

(Now, doesn't that make everyone's day? I hope you're not eating your

breakfast!) :-) It only lasted one day, and I have felt really good since.

Wheat had been a mainstay of my diet, along with dairy. In the last

week I think I've lost a couple pounds (I don't have a scale, but the

clothes are fitting looser). I'd like to lose a few more, but don't want to

get very thin, so I'm going to be sure and include a lot from the neutral

list.

I'm going to try and follow the supplement recommendations, but I still

don't understand about no vitamin D. I am postmenopausal, and at risk for

osteoporosis (went into early menopause at 37), and my doctor has said that

vitmain D is essential along with calcium.

I'm wondering what calcium supplements everyone is taking?
