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?

What I want you to do first off is to go to your local Wal-Mart, pharmacy, whatever, and have your blood pressure taken at the machines that do it automatically, then report back.

K?

Please give me all the supplements that you take. Sometimes, as I have PMd you about, supplements/meds work AGAINST each other.

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.

Low blood pressure can cause this too.

Are you on any meds besides the supplements?

**EDIT**

Your BP is a little low at that rate. But your fasting sugar is perfect. Should range between 70 - 110.

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.

Your blood pressure was 88/66!! :eek: :eek:

You are running into some dangerous territory with your BP that low.

You should double check your supplements to see if any of them cause low blood pressure.

Better yet, you really should be checked out almost immediately for this.

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.

How do you feel today? The same?

I ate some chicken soup at work for lunch around 3:00 and I started feeling a little better.
I still have a feeling like a tingly goosebump sensation without the goosebumps.
I have seasonal affective disorder too when I am outside, but I am feeling this way while I am working in a warm kitchen so I don't know.

Any fever?

( you do know... J's right.. you need to take your wooosh self to the doctor :)

But any fever?

No I have never felt healthier in my life except for the strange downward swoosh and the tingly goosebump feeling.

What time is your doc appt ; ).

Are you close to an age where hormone levels could be dropping?

That is one of the things I am thinking. I never went through hot flashes. I LOVE hot so I am wondering if I am weird and getting cold flashes.

Could be it No... and glad you feel great that's good... but the Gyn can order blood work and check your hormonel levels to see where they are.

I'm like you... I guess all day - but when I had enough... I call the doc...

How's your cycle been?

I haven't had one in months. I think I have been that peri whatever for almost three years.

When was the last time you and your GYN had a visit?

Yeah oh well I consider it my half way victory crown cause I made it through much worse over the years... mentally wise anyway... :D
