Hi all...again!!!

Sorry about all my posts all of a sudden. If you read my last post about a possible rib fracture, then I just wanted to say that i have cracked a rib, just by leaning on a work surface blush

I went to see my gp about it and he confirmed that it was a crack and that there were no other injuries.

But its another problem that I really wanted to ask about?
For a while now, I've been getting really bad dizziness after eating, usually about 30 mins-an hour after eating. Usually my stomach will turn upside down and i will get very nauseous, to the stage where im sat at the toilet just waiting for my food to reappear.

I also crave alot of sweet foods, which make me feel better for a little while, i get very tired especially after eating meals, i get heart palpitations aswell, which I have mentioned to the gp and im waiting to have a 24hr ecg done. I do have loads of other problems, but I would be here all day writing them down

When i get dizzy, i really have to steady myself because i really feel like i'm going to fall over and almost have so many times. its been really lucky my husband has been with me.

I'm just wondering if any other of you suffer from these symptoms? if so, is it fibro or something else?

I'd like to get some advice before I go up to the doctors smilewinkgrin

You might want to be checked for diabetes.  If you are feeding your sweet tooth and also eating a lot of carbs, etc., that can raise your blood sugars and make you light-headed and also very, very tired.  I'm diabetic and if I don't follow my eating plan and overdo, I can't keep my eyes open.

So sorry you are feeling so badly.

I agree you should be checked for diabeties.

I have had fibro for ten years. After, I also developed some issues that seem to come with fibro.  Never broken bones though.

I don't have diabeties, but I do crave sugar and sweets allot.

I also get pretty nausous.  I go through allot of NAUZENE, it's just an over the counter med.

I noticed you forum name started with depressed.

Have you seen a doctor for depression?

If not, you really should.  That was certainly a life saver for me.

It may not take away all of your depression, after all, being diagnosed with fibromyalgia is tough to deal with but maybe your doctor can help.

I wish you well and will pray for you.

I had the same symptoms when I was on Savella. I couldn't stop eating sweets, and I'm not a sweets person (I would rather have a bowl of dip! lol). This med also made me sick to my stomach all the time.

I don't know if you are on any meds right now, or new meds.

Always best to check with your doctor!
Good luck.
