Feeling generally unwell after eating

Hi all,

I am just after some general advice or like experiences prior to booking into the GP or other health care provider.

I have been trying to undertake a healthier lifestyle but am struggling with a general feeling of being unwell.

For example, yesterday I had two weet-bix with skim milk for breakfast then did some very light weeding of the garden only to feel very light headed and fuzzy headed. The day before I felt like this after eating a yoghurt prior to leaving for work (about 6am) and then having a coffee and an egg & bacon sandwich b/c I had that light headedness and thought eating protein would be of more benefit. Throughout the day I felt lightheaded and fuzzy, I feel like this now. (I am not pg as I just finished my period on Friday) This week for exercise I have done two personal training sessions and yoga. Other than that I feel too unwell to do anything & have been napping during the day when I can. I have no other symptoms ie: coughing.

In the past my blood pressure and other things tested have been fine. Does anyone know why I am all of a sudden feeling like this?

How are you sinuses? Have you recently recovered from a cold? I have sinusitis atm and I have been getting dizzy. Sounds like you are eating enough food so that shouldn't be the cause.

No, no colds. I did have a coldsore last week but that healed really quickly - within 2 days.

When I went to the GP the other week my blood pressue was low when I usually don't have an issue. She said if it is low it could cause light headness etc. Are you drinking enough water ?

mm i had these symptoms and I ended up being Vitamin D deficient. Also you may have an ear infection or virus it may not hurt your ear but make your dizzy.

Ok, I have a lot to think about froma ll ytour response (thanks so much). I actually was thinking it is stress related now. Last night I couldn't sleep b/c I was tooing & froing about a work issue & I got terrible pains in my tummy on & off. I have taken the day off today & also my DD is ill but I didn't make an appt to go to the Drs. I might wait it out & talk to my DH about my worries and see if that helps. Thanks again.

Could you have IBS?

No, I don't think so. I usually have a high tolerance to alot of foods, illnesses etc.... it takes me to be really, really ill for anything to have an affect on me. I remember having this issue now sometime prior to DD and it was stress related, which then turned into anxiety. I luckily changed jobs and it stopped.
