I read your post before I got up today, and I woke up feeling dizzy…. And that is still lying down! I’m thinking that it might be low blood pressure, or it might be some vitamin/mineral/electrolyte thing. So I have taken a multivitamin, I am drinking lots and, sigh, I will have soups. I sigh, because they are my Fast Day diet, and I rather fancy eating other things on non fast days!
It may well be just me, but as my body goes through changes, it seems to need enormous amounts of water.

I hope you can work out what helps you. I will see how the day goes for me.

Hmm, I know digestion causes your blood to go to your tummy (so to speak).

Just looked it up, it’s called postprandrial hypotension: http://www.md-health.com/Dizziness-After-Eating.html
Suggestions: eat lots of small meals rather than big ones, low GI food, ginger and cayenne are meant to help!
I hope you can figure our a way to manage it.

My dizziness stayed around but (note to self, don’t write posts before your brain has woken up) it is a central symptom of me/cfs that I suffer: I just hadn’t had it for a while.
I did then remember that I had run out of licorice root tea which is meant to be good for regulating blood pressure. I buy licorice root from the Asian supermarket, and (on the advice of the nice man there) toast it and throw it in the blender to chop it up small. Then 1/2 a tsp in a cup of boiling water makes the most delicious tea.
I’ve just made up a jar full of the toasted crushed pieces so I hope that will help me, because my dizziness hasn’t abated much.

Anyway, I hope you are feeling much better today.

Cheers
