Feeling Faint

[andrea2289]

Hi Shelley!

I am calling on your greatness again

I have always been told I have always had low pressure and can tell when it drops low. Usually it is when I stand up too quickly, or bend over, or just randomly, but never too often. But I have never known what causes it.

My palpiatations have gone away 99% but I do still have to take the occaisional laxative, and when I do, they return. Last night in bed I noticed a few palpiations, not bad just a few, and then I felt very faint and sweaty and then extremely tried. Then I just fell asleep.

The only thing I noticed ther than that is my pulse seemed slow and irregular. I have been taking Oxypowder as my laxative of choice, and they reassured me that it does not cause dehydration and/or mess with your electrolytes but I am not so sure I believe that.

I am going to start drinking the rehydrating drink and stop the Oxypowder, but was curious what your thoughts were on the the possible causes of the faintness.

High levels of magnesium will cause faintness/dizziness so it could be the oxypowder. You should see an improvement once you stop taking it.
