For About The Last Month I Have Been Getting Dizzy After I Get Up. It's Not Right Away- 2 To 3 Minutes After I Get Up.

I put the thingy on my finger before I got up. Oxygen was at 93 and pulse was normal. Got up and waited til I got dizzy. Oxygen went up 97 and 98. Pulse went to 130. I sat down and relaxed Oxygen went to 93 and pulse went back to normal. Does anyone have any idea whats going on??!!

Hello again my friend @A MyCOPDTeam Member. I just went to a new doctor yesterday--a gastroentrologist. I've neve had a gastro doc before and she said that the last time I had an endosccopy--maybe 3 weeks ago--it showed that something may be wrong with my liver. MY LIVER???!!! I've never had anything come even close to my liver, so this was quite a surprise to me. However I am like you--bloated, but not in pain. I have not weighed this much for a good many years. I don't even know if the bloat has anything to do with the liver, but I thought it might be something you could ask your doc about. I am no doctor, but I would think that if you take your medication some time in the morning as close to the same time as possible, there should be no problem. However, a doctor would know that best. My gastroenterologist said that I may have some kind of a blockage, or "sludge" that is causing my liver to be inflammed or something. She wants to do a biopsy, but I haven't heard back from her yet as to when she wants to do that. Maybe you have some kind of a blockage too?? Anything is possible I guess. So I just thouht I would give you that suggestion anyway. Hope it helps you. You take care of yourself!!

Make sure to speak to your doctor. Maybe just need a few more minutes for blood pressure to stabilize.

@A MyCOPDTeam Member your best bet is to check with your doctor. When I get dizzy and week feeling it's because my blood pressure has dropped too low for me and that happens at any time of the day. However, yours mmay be something entirely different so a call to the doc would be advised by me. Please let me know what the answer is! Or I should say let US know! Thanks and good luck to you my friend!

Thank you, @A MyCOPDTeam Member, but I feel i’m better suited to be a Dear Abby / Dear Ann Landers / Miss Manners type than to be a professional, LOL. Have opinion, will travel, LOL.

Sadly, many of us have been there and also got the tee shirt. Heartache and hope for some worthless person to be better than they are is exhausting. It’s not experience I would wish on my worst enemy.
