A couple of weeks ago I had a terrifying episode of dizzyness while I was driving - I pulled over til I was feeling alright again and put it down to the warmer weather and maybe a spot of dehyrdration.
Ever since then I've been making sure that I'm drinking lots of water and I've been eating very properly since starting the SW plan 6 weeks ago so it's not hunger or lack of nutrition either.
Yesterday I went on my break at work and sat on a sofa to watch the TV, next thing I know the room is whirling and I feel like I'm about to lose consciousness. Managed to hang on and took a moment or two to return to normal. Another serious dizzy spell! And today while walking through my workplace I had a relatively minor dizzy spell.
Could this be weightloss related? Several of my colleagues are of the opinion that I'm losing weight too quickly and that this is the cause. It's quite strange that it seems to happen when I am sitting down rather than when I've just stood up, so I'm not sure it's hypotension either.
Does anyone else suffer this? I'm a very healthy person in general and rarely have any health issues. No eye or ear imbalances as far as I'm aware (It's only been two months since my last tests)
Off to my doctors as soon as I can secure an appointment as I can't afford to have another of these spells especially behind the wheel or operating dangerous equipment at work!
