Symptoms Or Just Food??

[Megan]

My mom doesn't get it. I am dizzy 24/7 no matter what I eat. She says it's from what you eat. I say it's not, because I have eaten the same stuff for like my whole life and I never was this dizzy before.

I feel like I'm dizzy 24/7 which makes living just plain old hard and my mom doesn't listen. She just blames whatever on food.

How do you get past the dizzy in your day to do anything?

Go see a doctor if you are dizzy 24/7.

Also check it out as a possible side effect to medication. But the doctor can help you with that.

It's concerning that you are dizzy.

Are you able to get this checked out yourself? You know your body and if something feels off then I would certainly get a physical if you haven't had one in awhile. I try to get blood work done at least once a year to keep tabs on my levels.

It might be worth keeping a journal of how you feel in the mornings, what you are eating, any meds - when you take them, etc. This is helpful for a physician to get a better idea of what your habits are and to help rule out anything.

I know we tend to not want to seek outside help but if this continues I certainly would.

See a doctor.

I went to see my doctor on Wednesday, January 18, 2012 to up my dosage of Cymbalta and get Ambien. The dizziness stopped but now it is replaced by pressure on the front of the head 24/7 and ibuprofin doesn't help. :(

I just feel like a lost cause. I don't know how to act in public any more. I used to be sooo happy love life. Now I just try to get in and out of places as fast as I can. I used to really want to see Mary Poppins in NYC but don't really have any desires to see it now or do anything any more.
