Dizzy With Nausea

I used to have bad dizzyness especially if I stood up too soon, after managing low blood sugar levels and treating the candida problem it was still there (but the brain fog was gone)

It turned out I just had low blood pressure and my doctor got me to add salt to my diet ( which I had never eaten as I had bad kidney disease as a child and was put on a salt free diet) I added salt (just a sprinkle at meals, I still don't cook with it) and now have no problems, and my kidneys have stayed fine.

Also because I had never eaten salt I never thought of myself as being on a salt free diet so he just assumed i ate it

Sometines it takes a bit of detective work but a good doctor helps.

Guys, I am in nursing school and I thought I would tell you the "norms" for BP.(blood pressure) 120/80 is considered normal, anything below is considered "hypotensive" which means, low blood pressure. Doctors dont usually freak until its below 80/50 or so, and a lot of people run high or low due to many things, including thyroid function. You should always let a doctor know if your pressure reads something other than normal for you, but keep in mind it can run high or low just because of the time of day. Mine tends to run low too, unless you are dizzy or nauseous, no worries. Hope that helps a little.

Louie,

Your story sounds familiar...I've had kidney problems (mainly just a lot of infections) too, so when I was a teenager I really got into super healthy eating and cut out almost all salt, sugar, processed foods etc. Then I was getting really light-headed after that, and my doctor told me to start salting my food. :D It's funny how sometimes we think we are being so good to our bodies and we are actually doing them harm. I used to buy whole grain everything!! My friends used to jokingly call me granola girl...not a great nickname for a celiac ^_^

I went to the herbal shop in town this morning and they gave me something new to try- peppermint/fennel pills and some homeopathic pills with ipecacuanha that dissolve under the tongue. well here goes another try.....

thanks for the continuing advice everyone!!

Since I began taking Nexium early this week my nausea has subsided substantially.

I am also a little less shaky.

I still feel odd sometimes...like something is not right, but I don't know what it is. Maybe anxiety.

My thyroid and blood work came back normal..so it's not that!

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
