Lightheaded

Mar 03, 2008 02:14PM - 2 comments

Well ever since I had the flu I've been very lightheaded and dizzy.  I'm afraid that one day I'm going to pass out and I'm hoping that it's not when I'm holding my son.  I have a doctor appointment next Monday, hopefully nothing is really wrong with me.  I'm extremely anemic but I take vitamins and iron suppliments.  I hope I'm ok.

I've had this since after the birth. Mine got worst at the end of the first month....I went in got checked for a bunch of things but they claim everything is fine. I was anemic too, I was ready to pass out and took iron pills, but was advised to stop after a while. I'm still experiencing it just before my period and from time to time. In addition, I feel as if my vision is not all that clear since the birth - it seems to fade at times and this is usually the same time when I'm stressed, tired and lightheaded. I don't know what is going on, but it's something I still have as well and it's been six month since my baby was born. I hope things go well with your appointment - all the best! Cris.

Hi Cris,

I did go to the doctor to get checked.  She drew blood to see what my blood count was like.  I will find out tomorrow.  My friend was having the same problem and she wound up having vertigo.  It's an inner ear infection that makes you dizzy and off balance.  I'm wondering if I have that, she said it acts up when you are under stress.  Having a baby and never sleeping is very stressful so...

I hope you feel better at some point as well.  At least I know I'm not alone.

Thanks.

Jezika
