Beets Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Last night I went to bed a little later than usual (11 instead of 10:30) and when I closed my eyes I felt like the room was spinning, like I was drunk. It was pretty intense. I had such a hard time falling asleep. I drank more water and eventually fell asleep but it was bizarre. I did not eat anything off plan yesterday, I totally forgot to eat lunch and ate something around 4:30 and then for dinner I wasn't too hungry, of course, so I just ate my fish and only a small bowl of my salad with avocado. M1: big salad with vinaigrette (EVOO, balsamic, Dijon, garlic--all clean ingreds I eat all the time), pork sausage patties (from farmers' market, no sugar or preservatives; been eating for weeks) cooked in CO M2: TB coconut butter, scrambled egg and some sausage patties cooked in coconut oil and some leftover lamb fat, some raw veggies I was cutting for dinner (obviously not enough veg but it was late and I was staaahvin' at that point and just wanted something quick), few frozen raspberries M3: mahi mahi baked with veg (broc, bell peppers, cabbage), aminos, coconut oil, bit of sesame oil for flavor, ginger, and small bowl salad w avocado Maybe not enough starchy veg? I'm going to eat some more starchy veg and fat today but any other ideas? I'm also not great about drinking enough water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted April 26, 2013 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2013 Maybe the problem was needing to drink more water, but I doubt the dizziness came from anything you ate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjena Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 That is weird. I hope more water and starchy veg help. I have no ideas. And your meals look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Ok, thanks guys. Last night I was having paranoid thoughts I'm not eating enough carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjena Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I doubt that is the issue. I think we get enough carbs from vegetables. I wouldn't worry about it unless it continues. I only have that type of issue when dehydrated or when getting a cold/allergy attack. Is the weather by any chance changing? Pressure changes can affect dizziness, too. I also get that feeling when I've been on a boat all day - I lay down and feel like I'm still moving - but I'm guessing that's not the case for you.

SpinSpin Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 How is your blood pressure? Low blood pressure can cause dizziness when laying down--my husband has low blood sugar and can sometimes have dizziness. And I had frequent night time dizziness when I was pregnant the last time. I would suggest if it carries on or you are concerned, talk to your dr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beets Posted April 26, 2013 Author Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hmm. My blood pressure is indeed normally low. Which I always thought was an indicator of my good health (I was a runner for a long time till knee injuries put me out of that game) until I recently started reading low BP can be a symptom of … I'm blanking. Adrenal fatigue? My eating was really off schedule yesterday--lunch and dinner were both very late. May e low blood pressure/sugar is right. I haven't been for a primary care check up in an embarrassing length of time--with exception of maternity visits. But I'm trying to find a reputable naturopath.
