Had to lay down another hour or so after eating again, due to bright vision/rapid heartrate/lightheadedness. Happens at LEAST six out of 10 times after eating since the esophagus surgery a few years ago. That's why I'll probably NEVER be able to go "out" to eat in a restaurant again ( Read more... )

I'll be going most of the day without eating again, since there's a risk of getting lightheaded afterwards, and I have a doctor appointment at 2:00pm this afternoon. Don't want to risk passing out behind the wheel ( Read more... )

I probably won't be eating anything today until at least 3:00pm. Have an appointment at the hospital at 1:45pm this afternoon to see about the more frequent nausea/gagging I've been having lately. I dare not eat if I have to drive, too big a risk I'll have one of my overly bright vision/lightheadedness/rapid heartbeat spells I get frequently after ( Read more... )

Doctor today was a bit thrown off by my blood pressure reading, which was 95/62. We determined it was probably that low because it was around 1:30 in the afternoon, I had taken my blood pressure medicine this morning, but hadn't eaten anything yet ( Read more... )

Leaving for a doctor appointment in a few minutes. Instead of giving me a morning appointment, they gave me a 1:00pm appointment. This means I probably won't be eating anything until around 3:00pm or later today. Can't risk eating when I have to drive, due to the dizziness issue I sometimes get after eating.

It's kind of sad when you get a Double Beef and Cheddar, an order of curly fries from Arby's, and by having to eat them little by little, it takes around eight hours to finish.

I find it kind of depressing when I see people posting about going out to eateries with live music, knowing those days seem to be long gone for me. Since the esophagus surgery, I can't risk eating "out" without the risk of PASSING out. Also, it takes me a long time to finish a plate of anything now ( Read more... )

I'll probably never be able to go out to sit down and eat in a restaurant ever again. Not because of the pandemic, but because of the unpredictable side effects from the esophagus surgery I had a couple years ago. Sometimes get rapid heartbeat, dizziness, blinded vision after eating, but sometimes I'm fine. Doctor says that is normal after that ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I kind of miss not being able to "go out" and eat at a sit down restaurant. Even if invited, I'd have to turn it down. Since the surgery, I tend to cough a bit when eating, I eat VERY slow, and occasionally get those rapid heartbeat/dizziness/overblown vision symptoms a few minutes after finishing eating, and have to lay down a while ( Read more... )

Seems I'm getting the dizziness/blown out vision more and more often after I eat something lately. Also, after showering this morning, and putting some laundry in the washing machine, I got totally out of breath and shaky. Also feeling weak in my right arm above the side of my chest where they had the drainage tube inserted after my surgery. I'll ( Read more... )
