Dizziness

[Guest guest]

Hi Rita:

Sorry to hear about your dizziness. I have not had it myself but when I went to see Dr Trentham he asked me about dizziness. He said that some people have that problem with RP. I don't have any idea why but I do know that it is a symptom that is associated with RP. Problem is that everyone is different and so each of us needs to be evaluated individually. I remember that a man in NY who was in our group had the dizziness and also had constant ringing in his ears. He was told that it was caused by inter ear cartilage swelling. Hope you find relief.

to take you to one! Love,Judy

Rita,

I have a problem with dizziness at times. I went through about a 2 week

period in June that it was so bad it was dangerous for me to drive. My

problem was inflammation in the arteries behind my ear. They could not

treat it because I was not having the " room spinning " type of dizziness.

You should be getting messages from people who have had the same type of

dizziness you have because when I brought it up there were several who

responded. Good Luck!

Dear Rita, no I used to have vertigo really bad, was treated for panic disorder. I would go to the emergency room and insist on seeing an ENT., or have your regular doctor send you to one as soon as possible. Good Luck...Sue

Donna and Rita,

When people call me " dizzy " they know what they are talking about. I'm deaf

in one ear, and have had three strokes, all of which contribute to my

dizziness! Love, Judy

I've had some pretty extreme dizziness over the past couple of days.

So bad that when I'm walking things start blacking out just a little

bit. Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm not anemic, my blood

pressure is fine, etc. The only thing I've done differently this week

from previous weeks as I returned to the gym (after a 2-week hiatus

due to a knee injury).

Thoughts?

Possibly dehydration since you are working out more ?

Hmmmm...didn't think of that. I did add 24 ounces of water to my day

(drinking it while I'm working out) on top of my already 64 ounces.

I've gotten really bad headaches too the past couple of days. I'll

have to up my water tomorrow and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks Colleen!

Tina, I had that same thing going on with me my Dr. insisted that I try to increase my calories and wolla it got much much better maybe try that. Remember the exercise burns calories too and we aren't getting that many in to begin with so try to increase them and see if that helps.

Tina you are overdoing it. Even though you feel ready to go back to

excercise again, your body is telling you you aren't ready yet.

The SAME thing happened to me and Dr Baggs said to not push myself and

limit excercise to three times a week with weights and 2 days cardio

for now. I walk every night still though since it is so nice out now in

the evenings.But that is a pretty slow pace so I don't consider it part

of my excercise program.

Good luck and keep up the good work!

Hi Tina,

Your medications may need to be readjusted. I take Prozac and it makes you dizzy but you may need the dosages lowered, because of the weight loss. just a thought.

I'm 14 weeks out. I switched from doing water aerobics 4-5 times a week to doing the exercise bike for 45 minutes plus weight training 3 times a week. Dizziness is my only ailment. I feel great other than that. I'm not tired...I have a ton of energy. I really don't think that I'm overdoing it. I tried drinking Propel during my workout today instead of just plain tap water, thinking maybe that the added vitamins/minerals would help. Still dizzy! If it persists, I'll call Dr. Baggs and check in.Tina--- In gastric-bypass-support-kaiser-

I am medication free! Still dizzy today but not near as bad as

yesterday. I guess I'll just play the waiting game and see what

happens (for now).
