Re: Woozy, off balance, little dizzy feeling....what could this be?

[Guest guest]

First you need to pay attention to WHEN ti is happening in relations to

when you last ate, took HC or exactly what you are doing when it

happens. somwtimes this takes some detective work.

It could be lower blood sugar / hypoglycemia. make sure you are eating

every few hours (2-3 is best), with good protein in each meal and no

refined carbs and sugar.

It could also be anemia. Might have your ferritin levels checked.

Thanks for the suggestion. Yes, have had them checked and thought

maybe that might be the reason but didn't see anyone else commenting

on it either her or on NTH. My renin is very low (.46) and

aldosterone lowish (10). I'm having it rechecked in the next couple

of days because I understand HC can either make both worse or better,

I believe. The renin is so low I also want to make sure it wasn't

some kind of lab error. I will keep that in mind when thinking about

the woozy thing. It's feels like what I would imagine being kind of

drunk or having a buzz would feel like (never been drunk, so I'm not

sure LOL).

Didn't think about anemia because although I was anemic in Nov I've

been on iron ever since but who knows. Idiot doctor refuses to test

ferritan says he get all the info he needs from CBC and that " you

don't really want ferritan any higher than 22 " . Can you believe that one!

I am hypoglycemic so thought about that as well. I've been hypog for

many many years and am very aware of what that feels like. I also

have have a blood glucose machine so I don't think that's it.

I will double check on the ferritan. Will double check with one of

my other doctors.

My aldosterone and renin are both low as well, how is you TSH is that

low too? I have been told I may have a hypo-pit problem. having both

low aldosterone and renin can be a sign for hypo-pituitary.

No, my TSH isn't low (right now 3 something). My test are confusing

because all hormones that would point to hypoP (other than aldosterone

and renin) do not point to hypoP but I did have a number of blows to

the head and whiplash before I was 20 and I believe I've had adrenals

problems back to probably like 10 and with that super low renin who

the heck knows. Since say people with low renin are 99% of the

time hypoP I'm going with that. Stupid rat bastard doctor didn't want

to do ACTH stim test and now it's to late. I could kill these doctors.

Oh dont get me started on the stupidity of doctors, I cant stand them

and there holier than thou attitudes the all have. I have seen about

seven doctors in around a nine month time frame, what a waste of time

and money. what do these specialists do? because they sure dont take

care of the people that come see them for help.

I have a bill from some blood work I had done in jan 08 , for the

aldosterone and renin, the ACTH stim, some thyroid tests and the

sodium and potassium tests, and a few I forgot. the insurance has not

paid anything on it yet , I might get stuck with it,...its for $1190.00:(

If I treat myself and become my own health care provider, I would I

believe get better care and it will be a lot less expensive. you are

not the only one that has murder fantasies about there doctors,

believe me;) I hate them too. they keep us sick and down so we

keep coming back , so they and big pharma can keep making all that

money off our misery and suffering.

ok done ranting now, sherie

For me being dizzy is apparently a low cortisol symptom. It usually happens

when I get really stressed out about something, but doesn't come along until

the next day. I haven't had a dizzy spell since I've gotten my HC dosage up

and have learned to stress dose when I need to.

>>What do you do about hypo-pituitary?<<

Test and replace ALL the hormones that are low, these may include all the sex

hormones, DHEA, Cortisol(some aldosterone) and thyroid.
