Hi guys, I just wanted some input or advice. So a few years ago, my doctor told me I have orthostatic hypotension and I was getting a lot better to where I was only dizzy maybe a few times during the work, but now that I've been getting more active it's been getting worse. Ex: I was squatting yesterday with only 75lbs and by rep 6 I was very dizzy to the point where by my 8th rep I had to rerack, wait a sec, then knock out my last few reps.

Maybe you need more salt? Low electrolytes can cause dizziness, try having a cup of salty broth or bouillon before lifting, and again afterward.

😂😂😂 I haven't yet just been taking a little longer rests between sets and reracking for a breather. I might just have to make a visit, though. I've been immensely dizzy since Saturday, had no appetite, can't sleep for long, and dropped 5lbs...

I usually eat a lot of salty foods especially probiotics and drink at least half my weight in water oz. Maybe I'll try eat salty foods directly before lifting. Thanks!!

I'm not sure I noticed it's getting worse the more I lose tho. 😔 And....I think I might just have to go to the hospital. I'm now down 7lbs since Saturday, have no appetite, and some upper ab pain :/

So I found out I had a stomach ulcer, but after some tests and some iv fluid in me I felt better, but still not 100%. I literally ate one small chicken tender for dinner and tried to eat another, but I felt terrible. Like I just couldn't do it, which is there weirdest thing because I used to be constantly always hungry and eating 😔😔😔

I know it's terrible 😭😭😭. So as far as the process goes I have to avoid high acidic food and spicy food for now 😔 and then they prescribed me anxiety pills and an acid inhibitor (prevents my body from making a lot of stomach acid). So hopefully within two weeks I'll be back to normal! It just sucks.... This is the least food I've ever survived on in almost a week. Might buy some meal replacement shakes. Not sure if I could stomache a protein shake tho 😔

starkserena, I thought ulcers were caused by H. pylori infections, are you getting treated for that?

They can be, but all my tests came back negative for h.pylori. so the Dr said it's probably from stress. I was going thru a huge fiasco with my hubs at the time.

@Chris hahaha it doesn't mean it'll be completely healed by then, but strong enough so my normal stomache acid won't affect it as much lolol. I wish 😂😂😂
