hypoglycemia????

[adamp33]

About 14 months ago I had laproscopic fundoplication surgery.  Over the last 18 months or so I have lost around 80 lbs.  Over the last 4 or 5 months I have frequently been having bouts of shakiness, dizzyness, weakness, light-headedness.  When I stand up I get light-headed quite often.  I had a blood test and everything was fine, my cholesterol was a little high so I am changing my diet.  I am 26 and 6'2" 180lbs and am getting frustrated becuase the dr.'s here cannot figure out what is going on.  I have been taking some multi vitamins and also trying cinnamon tablets.  What could be the possible reasons behind my body acting like this??  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Your surgery will not cause these problesm, but the Thyroid can.  Get your Thyroid checked, it is a simple blood test.  If the test is within normal limits, but on the low side, look to your diet.  Are you consuming any iodine? It is normally in table salt (not chips or salty junk food), cold water oily fish (not fish sticks or canned tuna), and in kelp supplements.  If your results are normal, ask your doctor about a supplement and how much you should be taking. You can also see a nutritionist about your diet to  make sure it is balanced.  If you suspect blood sugar problems, have your your blood sugars (blood test)checked when you have your Thyroid checked.
