When I got out of bed I almost fell when I tried to stand up -- caught myself
from hitting the floor by grabbing a chair. Kept kind of wobbling awhile. I tried to settle myself but I got in the car to drive aware that it was not safe to drive. I had a mammo appointment nearby. I did not have the right paperwork with me so I came home really really upset. =-=-=- Back home, I looked to Google re symptoms. It said the balance issue might be caused from not drinking enough water / lack of electrolytes. Also mentioned low blood pressure. -- I did not have any sports drinking handy so I drank tons of water and two cans of soup for the salt and ate raisins and an orange for the sugar that might be in store-bought sports drinks. After drinking water all day long and taking the salt and sugar described above, I feel o.k. Totally balanced :=) M Last edited by Mari; 03-23-2018 at 01:03 AM. |

I've been there before because of all the mag. citrate I've taken. It's scary...
You did all the right things, and I'm glad that you are okay |

Yes mari, you did all of the right things. Hubby has a hard time drinking a lot of water while at work because he sees students back to back and doesn't give himself a break, they are supposed to be 50 minute lessons but he gives them an hour.

I fell down when I was dressing on the day that the house caught on fire.
This was shocking to me. I feel down on my hip. I'm okay. I don't know how this happened. I was very tired because I threw some things into the dumpster that where outside near my air conditioner. I was tired, but still... I've seen these things on commercials, and didn't take them seriously until after I fell. I'm sorry that you fell Mari. BF |

it could be orthostatic hypotension. blood pressure drops so low so fast when standing up suddenly from a sitting or a laid down position. it can cause one to faint

I thought about the low blood pressure. But I could not find a pulse -- not unusual because I have never been able to do the pulse thing. I remember in 6th grade learning how to do it. Since then I have had people show me good pulse points. NADA. M |

Yeah, I have a really hard time drinking water at work too. All teachers at all levels go through this -- finding opportunity to go to the restroom.

I can imagine that would be hard to do.
Some people say that your body adjusts to higher water intake over time and you pee less, but I call BS on that. |

I went into work hoping that I could manage with the wicked cold I have.
But it was getting worse by the hour so I left and came home. I am feeling better at the moment. M |
