Why Do I Have Dizziness With A Slightly High Cholesterol Level?

Why do I get dizzy after eating bananas? I do not have diabetes or pre-diabetes. I just had more blood testing done end of October and all the blood sugar levels were fine. My cholesterol is a little high but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with this. The dizziness is almost instantaneous after eating the banana.

Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that it may be that bananas is allergic to you thats why you are feeling such a dizziness. Second thing is that banana is a reach source of serotonin which is a local hormone in our brain. Following a eating of bananas it may be possible that there is increase level of serotonin in the brain and cause you dizziness. I advice you to decrease the one banana to half banana and check for the symptoms there after to one fourth banana to check. Mark at which banana you have a least symptom. I advice you to only that banana which doesent make you symptomatic. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
