Weakness/Lightheadedness after massage?

[Guest guest]

I am trying to add regular massage therapy to my care regimen. After the first

massage a couple weeks ago,at 11:45 a.m., I got really weak in the muscles

about 3 hours after the massage. I could barely make my legs work to walk

upstairs to go to bed. I don't remember how I slept that night.

OK, then had my 2nd massage on Wednesday, later in the day, at 3 p.m. I felt

that muscle relaxation, but not weakness immediately following the massage.

Around 10 p.m. I was in my daughter's room standing and suddenly got that

feeling that something wasn't right. I got clammy, felt like I might pass out,

and had to get to the toilet quickly. Could this be brought about from the

massage? I got into bed and ate some cheese and crackers because it felt like a

bloodsugar thing, even though I don't ever have problems with this.

Ha, my massage therapist called while I was typing this, so I asked her about

it. She said yes, if I didn't get enough water in, that could have caused it.

So, something to work on the next time I go.
