want to check if this is this vertigo or what

N0help4u · #1 Feb 19, 2008, 04:11 PM

A couple times a day, lately every day, I feel like a swoosh down like on an elevator or a roller coaster. Is this vertigo?
I haven't had health insurance in about 3 years so I am hoping it is cause I can deal with that.
I haven't gotten dizzy in quit a few months.
Only other thing I can think is that I over did my antioxidents a bit last year but I haven't taken them in about two months now (since Dec.)

I don't have any ringing in ears or hearing problem.
I haven't been having headaches either.
My nose has been stuffed some.

Oh Gosh NO...

Both my Mom and Mother in law had it. When they would tilt there head back...they got very very dizzy. The had to sleep upright for awhile.

That doesn't sound the same. I'd call the doc just to be sure...don't you think?

k thanks. I always had very low blood pressure.
Last time I had it checked was last May 2007
blood pressure was 104/78
fasting sugar was 86

I will check tomorrow when I leave work if the Rite Aid or grocery pharmacy has one.
I am pretty sure they do.

I take B complex about three or four mornings a week
hylaronic acid when my knees are cracking
alpha lipoic acid about every other morning

calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, at night -about every other night

then on the weekends I sometimes take a digestive detox if I feel bloated -about 12 pills a month.
contains milk thistle, dandelion root, yellow dock root and beet root

I did take a ephedrine on Feb 5 and Feb 7 (2 weeks ago) because I just started a new job and wasn't use to being on my feet all day.
I am use to it now though.

I don't take any meds.
I checked my blood pressure
it was

88/66
pulse 89

I think the majority of it is my sinus stuffy nose problem. It got worse when my sinus' started bothering me a week ago. The weird thing is I usually can't breath through my nose when my nose is stuffy but I have been able to this time.

most my life my bp has been 78/68 even before I was into taking supplements.
I will check.

J - Could a sinus infection cause all this? Make her pressure drop?
and throw her equilibrium off - giving her that roller coaster feeling?

Oh I hope you feel better.

Hugs J love and miss you.

It says potassium can make it low but I haven't taken potassium since Sept. and I haven't been eating bananas.
