Hi all, we've talked about this before. Just lately its happening quit often, this morning felt good, said I'd do breakfast, for a change. Standing in the kitchen buttering the toast and shelling eggs it hit. Pain across the shoulders , arms weak, went dizzy had to sit on the floor before I fell down. Ray checked my sugars, they were ok, so put me on the bed , it's Totally waked me out. Didn't ring anyone cos it's only when standing and looking down for a while that it happened. Last ti.e they said it could be vertigo, as they couldn't find anything wrong. So just laying in bed resting for a bit. xx

Hi Moi, Sorry to hear about this problem. It can be quite scary at times, so pleased you are going to GP to get it checked!
I felt like that a couple of times recently and it was because my iron levels were low.
It can be caused by a few things, so good to get it checked. We don't have a walkin clinic any more here. You used to be able to just turn up but now we have to call NHS 24 to get referred to Out of hours GP service and it can take a while before you actually speak to a human!
Love Annette x
