Dizzy and nauseous when washed my hair

I don't wash it very often and I usually get pain in back when bend into the sink but today when stood up straight I felt as if I would be sick and had to take Peptobysmal and really worried about throwing up. It's worried me next time I wash my hair :(

Do you have a shower ?

Would maybe better if you washed it in shower would prevent you from having to bend over

Thanks - no I can't shower or bath on account of feeling so cold and never properly dry afterwards. I even feel like this after washing my hair which is another reason I don't do it often. I suffer from Hyperhidrosis when I'm cold.

Maybe get a seat if you can’t use shower so you don’t need to bend your head

morning foggy I think sometimes if you bend to quickly can have a rush of blood to the brain x

Thanks. It was when I lifted my head, uggycat. I wasn't aware that I moved it quickly as I move very slowly but maybe I did! x

I know someone who swears by dry shampoo. She doesn't only use dry shampoo, but it cuts down on the number of times she has to wash her hair.

hi Regina, yes I've tried dry shampoo but I don't find it works for me alas but good for the occasional use. I do find no rinse shampoo helps because that stops the need for bending over the sink but when I need to add colour I have to rinse it out in the sink!

I sometimes get this in general with my fibro so I know how you feel it’s really awful! Maybe mention it to your GP when you next see them? Always best to be safe xxx

Oh goodness , searching on the Internet for anyone else who'd suffered it and saw it was me!! I'd not remembered it'd happened before but it just happened again today and I couldn't finish rinsing the colourant or soap out of my hair - if I'd have bent over one more time I'd have been sick. Had to keep my head straight and have some Gaviscon - it was horrid. Not washed my hair for weeks and now I'm going to have to find another solution
