~~~~Dizzy~~~~

I used to have them a lot a year or so ago, but I attributed them to the fact that I was on Metablife at that time (pretty heavily I might add) But I have not been taking any diet pills of any sort for well over 2 months. I drink a lot of water and I think I eat plenty through out the day. They don't come on at any certain times, there is no pattern to when they strike. I can be sitting at my desk at work, or walking down the hall or when I am exercising. I did notice last night while doing Pilates that when I had to lay back I thought I was going to pass out, it was a bad one. Any thoughts?? or Suggestions?

I have had this since I was 16 years old and I am 56 today!!! I no longer have the severe bouts with it but when I did they put me on medication that really helped. See a doctor. It could be low blood pressure or low blood sugar too. -------------- Gramma

We shall see what happens :) Darned sugar anyway! thanks all :) AGH!!
