Feeling dizzy since yesterday. It feels like I am on a boat the whole time, and I had difficultly balancing myself even on a flat floor.

Already slept for a whole afternoon yesterday, but it is still the same today, the dizziness didn't go away. Felt like a waste of time lying on bed doing nothing. Not sure what I can do to feel better except lying on bed. My weekend is so wasted.

Get your blood tested for a start if you haven’t done so lately.

Thank you for your suggestion. I had a blood test few months ago and everything was fine at that time. I am having an appointment soon with the hospital for some other issue, not sure if there will be a blood test.

If I am still dizzy in the following days, I will get it tested.

Obviously dizziness could be anything. But sounds like you aren’t anemic. That’s what I was wondering about.

Thank you for your comments. This might actually be related, I am losing a little bit of blood and need some rest at home.

Hopefully I can recover in a few days and it is not caused by something else.

Maybe you should consult a doctor. Feeling dizzy for extended periods can be due to something serious.

[–] frozenmolar@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thank you for your suggestion. I will definitely consult a doctor if I am still dizzy in the next few days.

I wouldn't wait that long. I don't know where you're from but in BC you can call 811 for a nurse hotline and ask them what you should do. It's ready, I'd do that

Thank you for your comment and the link. I am in UK, might not be able to use it.

My dizziness is less serious today after some rest at home and in bed. Hopefully just a little bit more rest and I will be fine. No worries!

Full of angst and worry. But I'm grateful for the bot that asks every day.

I wish you the best, and that you find a safe place where you can relax and collect your strength <3

Can't type much because I need to recover from RSI (again), so I'm just enjoying the end of the summer with my brother. Mostly playing card games and going outside. I've started watching a playthrough of Anonymous;Code to improve my Japanese, but without being able to use the keyboard I can't really look things up. Oh, and the osu!mania world cup ends next week, so that'll be fun to watch.

Sorry to hear about your RSI, you still seem quite busy, that's nice!

[–] Jummit@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

Thank you! Trying my best to not die of boredom :P
