Need more blood in my sugar system

[fishpatrol]

I've been experiencing waves of dizziness for...more than eight hours now. It was freaky at first, when I felt dizzy even as I was sleeping/(lucid) dreaming; now it's just getting annoying. I don't usually get dizzy spells, and this is the first time the dizziness lasted so long. It's a bit better now than it was a few hours ago -- this morning, I couldn't even get out of bed without feeling the world spin crazily.

I did a quick Google when I felt well enough to go on the computer, and it seemed that dizziness is often caused by low blood pressure -- did a blood pressure measure, and yep, my blood pressure is pretty low right now. Did some more Googling on low blood pressure and some of the things like seizure and lack of blood going to vitals (i.e. brain) were a bit startling. Hmm, I suppose I could get my body to stop working altogether if I popped one or two of my mother's medication for lowering high blood pressure.

I am now drinking a lot of water and eating chocolate cake. It's really good chocolate cake, but it's not doing much for the nausea that seems to accompany the dizziness. D:

Wow, I hope you get better soon! That sounds very dangerous :/

Thank you<3! It feels more irritating than dangerous right now...but I suppose I'll change my tune if I get a seizure. X3 *j/k, j/k!*

slkdjf I have low blood pressure too. Now I can't even drink a cup of coffee without wanting to keel over and die.

Shouldn't coffee make you feel better? :O Because it gets your heart pumping faster --> more blood flow --> increase in blood pressure?

No... I think it's because the caffeine is super dehydrating? I get the same way when I drink too much soda/pop too. Super nauseous and dizzy.

You don't feel more energetic...or more jittery? I get a bit jittery after coffee sometimes. My blood pressure is usually at a normal level though -- I don't know what happened today. D:

Um, a little bit. But then I just get gross feeling. :( Though I don't drink it a lot. When I do, it's usually when I have to get up at butt o'clock in the morning to go to work and pick up Starbucks. Though in those cases, I also don't have a lot of food in me either. That... probably doesn't help the dizziness. :|||

That's really scary. I wish I was House and can give you great medical advice but alas... I know nothing. Take care of yourself! And easy on the chocolate cake~ ^-^*

I'll be seeing my doctor this week, so hopefully she'll have some helpful advice. Thanks for the concern<3! (I think I will go for some chocolate ice cream now... :Db)

Ack! I hope it's nothing serious... *sends over good vibes*

I feel back to normal now, but I'll be seeing my doctor later this week anyway. Thanks for the concern♥~~~
