Very dizzy and light headed, what could this be? -

Lately I have been feeling extremely lightheaded and dizzy. When I walk up the stairs, I feel like I m going to faint. I ve noticed that I feel this way after I started taking these supplements that have a lot of caffeine in them. I also have decreased appetite so maybe I m just weak from not eating? Or is this hypertension, or even hypo tension?

You are right. probably not eating enough and or not eating the right foods. Also, you re not breathing properly, don t have enough iron in your blood. Eat some spinach, carbs, and work on your cardio and pulmonary systems by exercising.

Sounds pretty obvious that the large amount of caffeine is not good for you. It probably has your heart rate up (and therefore your B/P down), then any added activity like stair climbing just elevates it further. Not eating is adding to your problem in many possible ways -- low glucose, dehydration, anemia, and probably many other things. Did you really need to take a poll to know what s wrong?? Ditch the pills unless you just like being dizzy...

When you take a lot of caffeine in all it does is raise your heart rate, then make you crash. Stop using caffeine and start eating foods high in protein to give you energy. If you feel lightheaded, eat a small snack, that means you don t have enough blood glucose.
