abbyw Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 With my medication, my dizziness is basically gone. I have noticed that I only get dizzy on days when I am really tired. Does this happen to anyone else? Any take on the connection? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoj Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Lucky for you that you don't experience much dizziness! I notice that when I get dizzy it is accompanied by strong sense of sleepiness. If I take a nap, the dizziness decreases. Actually, I should say WHEN I take a nap, becs when it comes on, there is no stopping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katT Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Abby, I have dizziness or odd sensations more days than not. So I feel for you!! Mine is worse when I am tired as well. It is also worse with hormonal fluctuations before and during menstration. And I swear at other times for no apparent reason at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyomingGal Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Being tired makes me dizzy for sure!! Also too high of compression stockings can mess me up just as bad. I never know! It is weird that I don't get really dizzy outside-just inside of a store, etc. maybe it's part anxiety? Going outside usually solves a lot of my problems-unless I need to eat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 My dizziness varies but always increases with being tired. Usually I make it through most of the day without a problem but when I start to get tired it hits me. Naps also are quite rejuvenating for me as well.Anoj: on the "no stopping it" part, how much of a warning do you get? I try to budget my energy for the day so I don't hit this while I'm out or at work but there's a definite limit. When I reach that limit, I'm exhausted, dizzy, my body feels like it weighs a ton and I'll just faint/collapse right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anoj Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 It's hard to say becs I'm not sure I understand your question? I get little warning about the sleepiness. I don't really collapse becs I limit my activity so much. I just lie down in the couch or in a chair & the next thing I know, I'm out. This is MUCH different than pre-dysautonomia tiredness. I can't think or speak well when this happens. It's out of my control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfie Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 When I travel I tend to be both dizzy and sleepy-- however, I relate it more to what I'm doing stressing my system, which lowers my BP a bit and THAT makes me both dizzy and sleepy. Sometimes laying down and relaxing is enough to reduce the stress on my system and I will actually feel better after a nap, despite sleep lowering BP more.

Jacquie802 Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 When over tired, does anyone have dizziness get worse just when you're about to fall asleep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
