I feel dizzy often. Are there any tips to prevent dizziness?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am 29 years old. My problem dates back a few years from now. If I am working, sometimes I do not get to eat anything, but maybe have a cup of tea while working. Then I start feeling quite dizzy.

I get water, and it is still there for quite a while. It goes for 10 minutes or so after eating. ECG and echo, thyroid, and BP are normal. My fasting glucose is 5.6. What is this, and how can I stop it?

Please suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, I would like to reassure you that there is nothing to worry about. Secondly, the reason for your current trouble is pretty much explained in your history itself. No matter how hard your job is and the pattern of your work, it is mandatory to ensure a proper diet.

By diet, I mean you need to do the following. Make sure you drink enough water daily, at least eight to nine glasses of water a day. You need to make sure you have food every four hours. Again, I would like to repeat that, regardless of the kind of work you have, keeping healthy is very important.

As you have not mentioned your height and weight, I am assuming you are within the normal BMI (body mass index) range. You need to make sure each time you eat, each meal should be inclusive of a protein source, a carbohydrate, and a fat source, like for breakfast, whole wheat bread, egg, vegetables, and just a teaspoon of peanut butter or tahini.

Include fruits in your desserts after dinner. In the morning hours, as soon as you wake up, it is normal to have low glucose in the blood that can make you go dizzy if not compensated for well. Therefore, it is important not to skip breakfast.

I would recommend making it a little snack instead of a breakfast within the first hour of waking up, like a whole banana, followed by a proper breakfast later in the day. This would ensure normalization of the blood glucose level in the morning hours.

Before having anything in the morning hours, the minute you wake up, you should make it a habit of having at least two glasses of water, with or without lemon in it. It acts as a detox, helping flush out the toxic metabolites from your body. It is fine to have tea or coffee throughout the day.

But make sure you also include a lot of plain water too, apart from the beverages. Keep yourself active in the day, through yoga, hiking, or workouts, or any other physical activity. It helps keep you alert and stimulates blood circulation to fight any dizziness.

Having said that, I would like to say that you are fine, just make these changes in your diet, and you will be good to go. Stay healthy, happy, and positive.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
