Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
yesterday i got lightheaded and after i took a shower and took the towel off my hair i vomited in the trash can so i went to lay down and the room was spinng for a few sec then everytime i would roll over on my other side it would happen again . I was sick a week ago with the flu?
Your symptoms seem to be related to hypotension. In the shower the blood pressure drop and can cause dizziness and vomiting. I suggest to drink more water.
Fluids increase blood volume and help prevent dehydration, both of which are important in treating hypotension. I also suggest using more salt in your diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
