anyone feel like fainting sometimes?

so i always have insomnia due to restless leg syndrome and prednisone and waking up in the morning is always difficult... this morning, however, was extremely difficult. i eventually had to force myself to wake up (@ 10am btw) for work but immediately i felt like my whole body went weak.. then i went to the bathroom as usual and felt cold sweats and nauseas... i was getting ready to throw up (trash can/ponytail) and then i almost felt like i was gonna pass out, all while still sitting on the toilet!! after that i called in sick and went back to bed. woke up again after an hour or so then felt like nothing ever happened... what the?

i have been flaring on and off since january so this is not a new flare but i have been altering my diet recently... went gluten free a month ago then have been trying the scd diet since saturday... the only other thing i can think of is that this is partly anxiety/depression over not getting any better...

just wondering if anyone else has felt the same or similar?

I've had a slight dizzy like feeling on and off associated with bowl movements usually, started up a few months ago. Not pass out feeling but more dizziness. I had my iron checked and apparently it is ok, so I don't know. I also been on low carb diet, so that maybe part of it too? I can only guess.

I felt that way when I had consistent diarrhea and had lost a LOT of weight before I was diagnosed.

I have sometimes had nausea where I felt sick with nausea, flushing & sweating and feeling faint, but it's more from the extreme nausea I think.

It definitely could be your blood pressure...if you're tapering the pred, that could be one reason for it.
