I have started having dizzy/fainting spells. I can't stand for too long without getting crazy dizzy and feeling the need to faint. My heart races and I feel like it is going to jump out of my chest!
I called Dr. Rasmussen's office and we are going to check my potassium levels and glucose levels (I had this same thing happen when my potassium levels were low last year). I am also so weak and have absolutely no energy. I feel the need to sleep all day long! I am also having some funny pains in my side again.
**I got the results back from the blood draw and everything looks normal with the potassium and glucose. He wants me to drink some Gatorade to get my electrolytes up to see if that helps. I will see him in another week. I am just having a hard time understanding why I feel so weak and tired and I am getting massive amounts of nutrition from what I am eating and from the tube feeds!
I just want to feel at least semi-good for a day and not have to mentally and physically push myself to make it through a day!!
Hang in there, girl!! It sounds like you have a wonderful, dedicated doctor who is taking great care of you! So glad to hear it. I'm sure he will get to the bottom of this all!
