Hi XXXXXXX.
Thank you for posting your query.
I understand your concern.
You have provided with good information, I appreciated it. In order to guide you appropriately, I will need a few more details regarding your problem, so please answer the following questions in as much detail as possible.
Have you checked your blood pressure recently ?
Are you on medication for atrial fibrillation ?
Any chest pain, headache, loss of balance while walking ?
The slim belt is known to cause increase body temperature. This causes increased sweating which can cause electrolyte disturbance due to water and salt loss by sweating.
You need to keep abreast with the management of your blood pressure, cholesterol, Atrial fibrillation and other medical conditions because these are also common causes of the dizziness, blurred vision, weakness. In case of blood pressure fluctuation these symptoms can also occur.
It would be advisable to consult your Doctor and investigate if you are on proper medication dosage and current values of cholesterol, blood pressure, heart rate etc.
Eat balanced diet. Keep well hydrated. Do regular moderate exercise. Try to avoid Slim belt till you get thorough check up by your Doctor.
I hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
