Dizzy when standing up.. Anyone else?

[jaded]

Okay thanks! Will keep an eye on the caff & water..

I've not touched the yohimbe since we first spoke about it.

What problems were you having with the yohimbe? Aside from the insomnia, lol

Hey there,

That symptom is quite common and can mean a few things. Usually its called simply "orthostatic hypotension" *sp?* and is simply a quick drop in the blood pressure when changing positions or standing. Is that the only time its occuring? If it becomes really bad or concerns you, you may want to just get some blood work done. Sometimes it can be a sign of anemia or hypoglycemia (I learned that one the hard way falling butterball naked in the shower and cracking my head on the way down).

I had this one! I was just getting ready to post something similiar -damn. I wanted to look smart! lol. But seriously, I've expierenece this before. When I was taking MAOIs it really fucked with my blood pressure. I had it often and it's very uncomfortable. I've passed out a few times from it. Stand up as slow as you can for now but go see a doctor about this soon. It may diminish but you could be having problems with your blood pressure which can be damaging.

This has always happened to me, for as long as I can remember. I don't kow what causes it for me, but sometimes it is bad enough that I think I'm gonna hit the floor. I just have to stop or slow down for a minute, then it goes away.

Do you use any drugs (prescribed or otherwise)?

that's kinda how i feel... lately when i stand, i don't necessarily get dizzy but head starts throbbing as if i'm getting a migraine. it only lasts a couple of seconds but i don't know what the deal is. i'm not taking anything either so i don't know what to blame it on. lol

Diet?

 

[graciepoop]

maybe i'm just not eating enough... i think i'm around 1200-1400 calories? i haven't entered some of the stuff i ate on fitday yet but maybe that's it.

Just that.

Even if I took the yohimbe at 8 am, by 11 pm, I was still unable to sleep, but feeling exhausted. Not fun.



Thanks everyone else for the advice/info.
