This site answers your question perfectly:\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/002914.htm\n\nThey give several reasons for this including dehydration, post nasal drainage and overproducing tears.  Check out the link above....

Sounds like you already know what could be causing this: diabetes.\nHowever, it could always be conincidence. Maybe you're tired or stressed, and you only have a free moment to notice when you sit down to eat.

With regards to dizziness, it has been my observation of my own response that there are two different conditions. One is almost always postural and is benign. Being attentive to the possibility of dizziness, light-headed, fainting, and blacking out with change of position plus insuring adequate hydration and some salt intake is usually all that is necessary.\n\nIf you salt your food to taste and eat any processed foods, you should be getting enough sodium. \n\nSome folks have reported they were able to increase their very low blood pressure by increasing their fluid intake (6-8 cups per day of any fluids is usually enough) to maintain adequate hydration and increasing their salt intake. Foods that are canned, pickled, processed or cured are high in salt. You can also drink 1/4 tsp of salt in a large glass of water to increase sodium.\n\nAlso, I would strongly advise you to stay away from Gatorade for I do not recommend the use of Gatorade or similar products. Even the ones that are low in sugar contain extra potassium which you may not need. \n\npaaatches --Discussing your concerns with you physician is a must. Never change your dosage or stop taking your medication without your doctor’s approval. If something isn’t working out for you, you feel something is wrong then you get your doctor on the phone and you tell them what’s going on.

If she took medication while she was unwell, chances are it is an after effect and should go soon. Among the drugs that can cause a metallic taste in your mouth are antibiotics like Biaxin (clarithromycin) and Flagyl (metronidazole), used to treat a wide variety of infections; drugs used to treat an overactive thyroid; captopril, used to treat high blood pressure; griseofulvin, used to treat skin infections; lithium, used in bipolar disorder; penicillamine, used for rheumatoid arthritis, kidney stones, and too much copper in the body; plus some drugs used in cancer treatment.

already on it for 4 months I really do not think it would be the medication. have you had your blood pressure taken? It could be low or high and this could cause you to have dizziness. You did not state how long the dizziness has been happening. Also not eating and being hungry could cause dizziness so we would have to know if you ate or not.. So maybe get your blood pressure taken and make an appointment with your doctor to further tests. Good Luck and do not ignore this...

not me personally, but I have taken care of many patients with it. You may need to adjust your medications if it is recurring. See your doc.

Are you a mouth breather?  Do you live in a very dry climate?  Have you tried drinking water with lemon in it?  Do you eat lots of salty food?  Are you taking an anti-histamine?  If the answer is no to all, see your M.D.

I couldn't say what your causes are, but it happens to me when I am anemic and/or have low blood sugar.  It wouldn't hurt for you to be sure to eat regularly and take an iron supplement (especially if you are a menstruating female).  Geritol Tonic is what I drink (one sip a day).

No one but a doctor could tell you for sure. I would hesitate to recommend anything without consulting your doctor, because the wrong thing could hurt you. have you tried Mylanta, Rolaids, or Tums? Does it occur after you have eaten any particular thing? Try to document when it occurs, what you were doing, what you had eaten, anything that seems relevant.. if it becomes too severe go to your local Emergency room, otherwise see your doctor as soon as possible.

You could have poor circulation, heart or blood pressure problems.  How much salt do you eat?  High salt in diet can cause water retention & swelling (2400 mg of salt per day is enough)  all processed, fast & restraunt food is very high in salt.  Also, (no offence) if you are over weight, can cause swelling - best is see your DR or health care professional

Sometimes its a simple as dehydration, could be hormones, could be a small allergic reaction to something you ate or the beginnings of rocacea.  Start out with hydrating yourself and go from there. It's probably all it is.

Your potassium could be low,low blood sugar there are numerous reasons.There is such thing as CFS which is chronic fatigue syndrome. Call and seek a medical opinion and find out whats causing this.If this has been going on for 2-3wks. this indicates theres a problem!I have CFS and hane low energy levels and have aches and muscle pain with mine,but a week ago my symptoms lasted more than 2 days because usually I can sleep off a bad cause of my fatigue,but I seeked medical help and found out it wasnt just my CFS I had the west niles virus,my point is fatigue can be a leading cause of a serious sickness,and the best way to get help is consult your doctor!

I haven't found that eating alot of salt creates more sweat but you lose more salt through sweat. Leaving some links for you to read up on the subject...\n\nWhen the water in the sweat evaporates, it leaves the salts (sodium, chloride and potassium) behind on your skin, which is why your skin tastes salty. The loss of excessive amounts of salt and water from your body can quickly dehydrate you, which can lead to circulatory problems, kidney failure and heat stroke.

Thanks for making me laugh.....\n\nI wouldn't worry about it unless it happens all the time.  Did you eat something very spicy yesterday?  Or perhaps you need to get more fibre in your diet.\n\nIn any case, I think you'd make your doctor giggle with that description of your problem.

Hi There, I'm not a doctor so I can't diagnose, I can suggest a few things though.  Has your doctor ran blood tests to rule out thyroid, anemia, infections, etc?  How has your blood pressure been?  Do you take any medicines? There are so many things that can cause those symptoms, so I'd say rule out anything they can with blood work, watch your blood pressure, get a chest and sinus xray, and get your ears checked out, heart tests, and if none of that shows anything, maybe allergy tests.  If all those are negative, it could be stress, or something like fibromyalgia.  They really need to do more of a evaluation on you.  Have you been exposed to anything last October maybe at school?  paint fumes? any building remodeling?
