Hi All,

          My weight is heading in the right direction and i'm generally fit, but can anyone please explain why in the last 2 weeks I have experienced dizzyness and (particularly while trying to sleep) and alarming jolt which feels like a cattle fence/possible heart attack yet goes away after a few seconds? My suspicions are that Gastro/wind as a result of a change of diet may be to blame rather than something more sinister. My BP was well within limits when tested a few mins ago & I neither drink or smoke & otherwise feel absolutely fine.

 

         Has anyone had anything similar to this?

   

Not being a doctor I cant tell you the cause but would suggest you go and get a check up. Probably nothing to worry about but you wont know until you get checked.

Evidently, very normal and no one knows WHY exactly!   I had the same things and they all just went away!

It appears my suspicions were right that this was gastro-related. I drink 3L of bottled water enhanced with citrus, ginger, honey to make it palatable per day & I think the last couple of batches made at home have been a little too strong & not sieved properly to ensure all the zest & ginger were removed prior to bottling.

 

Feel free to have a chuckle at my expence ?

I had a slight chuckle Dave, but I well understand Gastro probs.

Glad you're ok.
