My kidneys, liver, thyroid & B-vitamins are fine. I was also checked for cholesterol & diabetes & my results are in the lower part of the medium to high range.
I have moments where I feel really woozy, dizzy, weak, tired, my face gets flushed, & I feel faintish. They happen more when I'm sitting down for a while not moving much or when it's late at night. Sometimes when I feel like that I lay down & I feel like my bed is spinning & like my bed is learning where I'm slightly upside down.
I sometimes have an urge to eat a lot of junk at night & I notice a while latter that I start feeling better if I was feeling woozy before. I sometimes have this woozy feeling a while after I eat supper but it leaves a while after I make a pig of myself on things like chips, ice-cream, salted cashews, & peanut-butter M&Ms.
I tried a couple blood pressure meds for a tremor disorder years ago & I felt really bad. I think it was because my blood pressure got too low.
If I do have a low blood pressure thing it's going to be even harder for me to eat healthy when my BP getting low is going to make me feel bad & want to pig out so I think I would have to be on something raise it/stop it from dropping in order for me to make gradual changes in my diet.
Do you guys think this is low BP or something else? & if it is low BP what can I do about it.
Low blood pressure is usually due to an overgrowth of histamine- producing microbes in the gut. When the person goes through die-off more histamine will be released, so the blood pressure will go down even more. When the blood pressure drops too low, the heart rate may increase causing palpitations and irregular heart beat. So, it is important to keep pathogens under control in order to keep your blood pressure from dropping too low.
Another important factor in blood pressure and heart rate regulation are our hormones.
Blood cholesterol fluctuates constantly. It's not worth measuring. If you want to gauge your heart disease risk, measure C Reactive Protein. Dietary cholesterol does not affect blood cholesterol very much at all.
Fats and cholesterol are the essence of life. Cholesterol is one of those nutrients without which we cannot live. Nature went to great pains to provide every cell in the body with the means to produce cholesterol all the time. The liver produces it mainly, provides it to the bloodstream, and regulates levels in the body. Only about 50% comes from food. Up to 80% _can_ be made by the liver.
Cholesterol must be present to heal any damage in the body, and cannot repair without large amounts of it. Whether it's because you went to the dentist, or you got injured, or had surgery, or were going through a lot of stress and lots of free radical damage...if your doctor says that you have “high cholesterol,” you might wonder: where's the damage that needs healing? When damage or injury occurs, the liver gets this message and starts manufacturing cholesterol in large amounts. Don't mess with it! Don't interfere! Your body is doing something. (...All the steroid hormones in the body, our adrenal and sex hormones, are built from Cholesterol. Our low-fat and low-cholesterol diets can be linked to infertility because of all this. Infertile people have been studied extensively, and consistently have low levels of blood cholesterol.
