Dizzy On Standing.....

[sporty333]

Hi

just a quickie.... doesm't anyone have any idea why i have recently felt dizzy on standing from a lower position? this morning when i was playing tennis i would bend down from time to time to have a breather then when i got up....boy was i dizzy and weird! Had to close my eyes at one point. Not something thats been this bad before. Just wondered what it might be....?

Cheers

Are you hypothyroid or hyperthyroid? I have Hashimotos and I also have Ménière's disease with vertigo, dizziness, tinnitus ETC. It is worth getting checked out at the docs

[greygoose in reply to Mia1057]

Mia, how do they check for Ménière's?

[sporty333 in reply to Mia1057]

I am hypothyroid......with adrenal issues. Its 'only' the dizziness, none of the other symptoms....

Simon, that is usually a symptom of adrenal problems. This is one reference. PR

Hi Si, This is usually postural hypotension, I also have it and all of the above.It and low BP are not treated in the Uk, but it may be low sodium, U`s and E`s, kidney function tests/Sodium should be low but in range. The reverse is true too.To check, take BP when lying and then immediately on standing,

Best Wishes,

so is it related to our beloved condition? lol i think you're saying i'm low in sodium and so thats causing the symptoms?

[Jackie in reply to sporty333]

Hi not exactly Si, you may be low in sodium ( salt) only an blood test for kidney function ( us and E`s )will show that. A usuful test anyway.it is all about Blood Pressure ( BP ) and unlikely to be to do with thyroid disease, Of course, it may be adrenal glands, but unlikely. However I would go for the simple tests I have described first.

Best wishes,

wwho does this test thought?!?! don't tell me the GP! lol

its only when i'm at sport or getting out the bath...or at least worse at those times....

[Jackie in reply to sporty333]

Hi A simple ,common blood test which is done as routine often.Say that you want to know if sodium/salt is causing your low BP. Results idiot roof!

If it's postural hypotension, this is a test:

oooooo, thanks for the link :0) I was thinking it is my adrenals......but unsure why its got worse again. Can you believe my constant asthma has gone! So strange...

[Heloise in reply to sporty333]

I know that hormones are very complicated but life is everchanging, isn't it? The asthma part is wonderful, I think bronchial cells might heal faster than other tissue. Maybe this is just that short step back.....here's to two steps forward!

[sporty333 in reply to Heloise]

Why is it energy is the last to recover then!! Lol yes I find this asthma very weird! A month or so ago I was using my pump three times a day! Waking me early hours of the morning..... Now nothing! Love it and hope it lasts !

[Heloise in reply to sporty333]

Just keep saying "it's going to last"; power of positive thinking!

[sporty333 in reply to Heloise]

Ummmmm not good at that after 15 years!! Lol
