[cathykats]

Hey everyone hope you all had a lovely Christmas!?

For the last week I've been having a throbbing head and slight headache .
the throbbing is worse when I stand up & I also feel dizzy it happens quite alot should I be worried or is this normal?

Also my weight loss has stopped!! I've been at 15st 7lbs for the last 2weeks.

any advice pls?

It's probably nowt to worry about but you can't be too careful with persistent headaches. Give NHS Direct a call and get some advice hun.

are u on blood pressure tabs, i had to come off mine as my blood pressure was too low when i stood up.

or maybe your iron levels are low? i think its worth a visit to your gp if they are persistent x

It is possible that you a dehydrated - not drinking enough fluids.

If it happens when you stand up it could be postal hypertension so def go see GP , also try upping the fluids , should help x

Hi Cathy, I hope you are feeling much better by the time you read this message. Maybe it is the lack of fluids - I have a bottle of water with me all day and drink that in between my fluids as suggested by UCH. Let me know how you get on. Take care. Cheers,

Hey everyone I went to the hospital today my BP was up a little bit and they said I need to up my fluid because I'm only having about 900ml a day .
my wounds are healing nicely and I don't need to go back until April and that's to see the dietitian .
so you guys were right it was my fluid intake and BP .

Thanks for all your advice xx
