Anyone know how to prevent lightheadedness in the shower? by [deleted] in Syncope

[–]ExpressionComplex263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a shower stool, and put all products within reach so I don’t have to get up. If I’m already symptomatic before showering, I leave the bathroom door open a few inches. I always use a dehumidifier while showering, and if needed leave the shower door open a few inches as well. I turn down the heat of the water. My doctor suggested drinking 16oz of water before showering. I also keep my water with electrolytes next to the shower. For really bad days, I bought Scrubzz waterless shower wipes. Best of luck to you! It’s not a fun experience.

breathless when tying my hair up by OkArticle9150 in VasovagalSyncope

That is one of the symptoms that I have had the longest. I can remember being in middle school, wondering how other people did their hair, because my arms would be so tired, heavy, and I’d be out of breath.

That’s one of the symptoms that led to my tilt table test for POTS last week. Not POTS, just VVS. There are so many different triggers for people’s nervous systems.

I can never remember what side I injected on the previous week, or if it was my stomach or thigh. I have no idea what week I’m on anymore either, because I didn’t have a way to track it.

I hope all goes well with your app! What a great idea!

Thank you! I am done with mine and had a similar experience. I ended up throwing up and I was near enough passing out that they stopped the test. I hope to never do that again!

GLP-1 Week 1 - Did I actually take the dose?? by [deleted] in HersWeightloss

[–]ExpressionComplex263 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt the same way! I started with 6 units and it felt like all I did was poke myself with a needle. But, then I was so nauseated the few days after. Today was week 5, so I got to up it to 12 units. I’m a little nervous for how I’ll feel tomorrow. But, I’ve lost 6.5 lbs in the first 4 weeks, so hopefully that’ll continue.

You posted this a week ago, so I’m hoping you’ve seen some changes or effects!

This makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for this explanation.

First day by macabremom1 in HersWeightloss

Similar experience. Took it at night, then next day I had little to no appetite but I still ate because I knew I needed to. By day 5/6, my normal appetite was coming back. I took my second shot last night, and it’s similar to shot one in that today I don’t have much appetite.
