Lightheaded

Starting on Sunday I have been feeling a bit lightheaded. This morning it has gotten worse. I ate breakfast, took my vitamins, had juice and even some snacks but I can't get rid of this feeling. I am at work and may have to leave. Anyone else feeling this way?

    Yes, I get dizzy/lightheaded every now and then. I found it's usually when I haven't drank enough water. Just dehydrated. I hope you feel better soon!

    Yup, I've been feeling that way in the afternoons myself.  I've heard it's related to the increase in our blood volume causing dips in blood pressure.

    Sometimes mine's solved by juice, but for the most part, it's been unaffected by what I eat or drink.

    I'd avoid standing up quickly to minimize the symptoms, and if it keeps up or worries you, consider seeing a doctor...

    Yeah, I experience this as well, though it has gotten better this past week. Water or juice and just sitting down for a minute helps me.

    Water, and something sweet. See if you can eat something with protein like a string cheese stick.

    I agree. It may be because you are dehydrated. I am literally sipping on water all day to avoid feeling like this.  However, some afternoons, I really hit a wall at work. Closing my door and enjoying a little shut-eye has helped. Not sure if your current situation allows for this though.

     Hope you feel better!

    I was at my doctor's today and mentioned I get light headed with my morning sickness. She said it's related to low blood sugar.

    I've been quite lightheaded. My doctor said I've got really low blood pressure, and that's what's causing it. She recommended Gatorade for me.

    I have had lightheaded spells twice.  Each time, I sat down with a cool cloth for my head, a glass of water, and a light snack.  I sipped the water, ate slowly, and covered my head with the cloth.  The feeling went away in about 5-10 minutes.  I hope you start feeling better soon!
