Bumble,
Yes, have checked potassium levels.
It is getting silly how vigiliant I have become with nutrient and vit and min levels. I think that area has pretty much been exhausted.
Thanks so much for the help. Don't want to dominate too much here, but have another question because I do intend on following through on the heart tests as well.
So my q is...what do I need to have checked or done to know if there is something going on with my heart?
I already know I am at risk but that is about all I do know.
flushd- years ago, I would have a cup of regular coffee in the morning, and a diet Coke at lunch. As I got older, I became less and less tolerant of caffeine. I used to go to luncheons where they served iced tea. I would get that funny little headache, that was a precursor to the dizzy spells.
Now I have reached the point where I can't even drink decaf coffee (It is not 100% caffeine free) or any sodas with caffeine. I have switched to diet Sprite and herb tea.
I want to apologize to Gustav. Even though he choses not to like me because I am blonde, I can't control it, so I'm sorry that Gustav had to go so low as to call me TTH.
Ah have a hug. One of those close to the busom hugs. <hug>
Phoenix,
Oh no! It was so hard to give up as much as java as I have. I suppose it is worth it though in the long run.
And I didn't realize decaff could be a problem.
Hi and sorry to hear you're not feeling well. What kind of heart problems run in the family? If it is arrythmia then you should check into that. Sounds like you did in the past by wearing the monitor. Certain arrythmias can cause dizziness. As far as seeing the ENT, non-symptomatic sinus infections can cause dizziness as well as inner ear problems.
Keep us posted!
