I think you're feeling dizzy because you aren't eating enough. I'm not too sure though.

_plastic 19-04-2008 01:38 PM

Hmmm , but should i get an instant headache and dizziness after having a cup of water ?

Sugar and Spice 19-04-2008 01:49 PM

No, you shouldn't get that.
I really hope someone will see this soon and be able to help more than I can

how much fluid are you having roughly throughout the day??

becuase too much fluid can cause that to happen.(and also too much fluid is dangerous).

_plastic 19-04-2008 02:07 PM

Most of the times i have

8 cups of tea
at breakfast and about 10-13 cups of water till the rest of the day...

Is this too much ?

Probably yes. If you drink to much tea/water i can dilute the electrolytes in your body and cause a number of problems.

There is no hard and fast rule about how much fluid a person should drink. The 8 glasses a day thing went out the window a while ago. The general recommendation is that you drink enough fluids during the day that your urine is a pale yellow.

you probably are drinking too much and this can make your brain swell which isn't good.
and about the dizzy thing when you drink - i get that too!
i don't really know why and i don't have an ed btw but i've found that drinking faster makes me dizzier so maybe if you try and just sip water instead of drinking loads at once.
hope this helps.

I've never heard of your brain swelling because of too much fluid!!! I think my head would be the size of china if that was the case :P

How much roughly are you drinking on a daily basis?
Too much fluids can actually put pressure on your liver and heart.
But it doesn't sound like the fluids you're taking in are a cause of your lightheadedness.

It's possible because of your diet that your body isn't getting enough nutrients to function properly. It sounds to me like you have low blood sugar levels, which can cause headaches, fatigue (tiredness), and dizzyness.

Try eating little and often. I'm not entirely sure on if you have some sort of eating disorder or not (as i don't know you), but i'd suggest trying to eat little and often.
If you're unable to eat, try drinking something high in sugars if you can. Just to get your blood sugar levels up.
Hope you feel better soon hun x
