I get a little dizzy every day for short bits of time. When I first sit up, after bm, after eating, after I exert energy, etc. but it goes away after awhile.. The last 2 days have been real bad for hours. It happened again today while out on a walk with my dog. I just pulled up to the side of a corner store and reclined. I tried sitting up and it would come rushing back. Then I thought it was better and I'd start going again and Bang, it would hit again. I think I spent 20 minutes reclined in the parking lot. I'd almost call home, but I'd start feeling better. I felt good enough to continue, but still felt tired and light headed. I know my BP is often low, it's been as low as 75/?, but most often it's in the 80s or low 90s. I hate taking meds, but if it would make me less tired too.
William. You might try some meds to help too. Do you wear an abdominal binder? I also wrapped my legs in ace bandages when first sitting up in rehab. You gotta stay up some. The longer you are in bed, the harder it will be to sit up. Does your chair recline? Grefg _____ I have experienced dizzy spells every time I've gotten into my chair. This has been going on even one rehab 10 years ago. The doctors in rehab Baylor medical center, Dallas, knew that I had a problem. The rehab experience was pretty much ineffective. I have spent very little time in my wheelchair as a result of this dizziness. I have no solution! Bill Ray
