AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Sounds like a simple headrush, which can be from something as small as just standing up a bit too quickly

I have that happen all the time. I stand and my vision blurs out. (Usually don't get dizzy/wobbly, but it's happened a few times.)

I think it's like the "all the blood rushing out of your head" phenomenon. I say this because I've been on intense roller coasters (where you can get 3 G's or higher) and I've experienced the same loss of vision. It feels similar enough that it could be related.

In my own case, I think it's due to low-ish blood pressure. But it could be due to any of the reasons listed above.

Not because of low blood sugar, but rather low blood pressure. It can be mended by eating food that's rich in iron or taking supplements (that are completely side-effect free), you should probably also drink more and eat more if you're eating less than you think you should . When you stand up your body has to work harder to pump the blood around so it takes a couple of seconds to adapt, if you just get up a little slower you'll avoid the worst of it =)
But iron supplements/eating better is the easiest solution.

my lips got insanely dry within the last few hours

they're so painful!

That's actually kind of interesting. I've never had painfully dry lips before. I didn't know it could happen!

Drink lots of water, I guess?

I put some lip balm on and it really soothed them nearly straight away. But, yeah I'll be drinking some water but they bodaciously dried all up even hours so it might have something to do with my bug but they're still the same in a few days I'll look into it.

One time my lips were so dry that if I licked them, I could get a piece of paper to adhere to them.

I stopped when the paper pulled off skin. A lot of skin.

Iron doesn't change the blood pressure, but rather the ammount of red blood cells that carry oxygen around your body. If you really need to highten your blood pressure, which you really only should do after consulting your doctor, you'd simply use salt/sodium.

That said, taking iron supplements outside of doctor's orders is a terrible idea.

Usually, low blood pressure is caused by a low amount of red blood cells which iron helps with. I've talked to the doctor about this and he said eating iron-rich food such as cucumbers and alike is a good way to help. Iron supplements doesn't even need a doctor's slip to buy over here, so can't possibly be that dangerous =P
But yes, getting some electrolytes can also be helpful.




On a side note for people with dry lips: http://lifehacker.com/5974745/know-whic ... e-dry-lips

Some lip balms actually make your lips drier in the long run, in addition, if you lick your lips a lot you remove the protective oil layer on the lips (designed to keep moisture in) and you can end up with chapped lips.

I do the same thing when I've been sitting/laying down a long time and stand up. No matter how slow I go, I will lose control. My vision turns green (and then fades to black if it's particularly intense,) and if I try to walk my body doesn't really do what I want to, and the room around me shifts. Not really spins, just kinda...shifts around. My ears ring/buzz, and it feels like someone is squeezing my head tightly. Then it goes away.

Inner ear issues run in my family so I've always attributed it to vertigo. It'll happen to be a couple of times a month, but never with any real intensity. I used to draw on the floor a lot as a teen and I blacked out a couple times then but since I got a proper desk it's always been pretty mild.

I think you only have to worry about low blood pressure if it's happening like every time you move or stand up. If it's just once in a while I'd say it was just your inner ear fluid not settling fast enough and it's nothing to worry about.

I used this thing a few days ago after shaving to make everything smooth on the upper part of my neck. After a few hours it started feeling irritated but I didn't really care. Today it is completely red and covered in pimples. I boiled some water and washed my face and though that got rid of most of them, the area is stillr ed and super irritated.

Doing some googling because of joint pain everywhere

Most likely cause is because for the last week or two I've been eaten like an unhealthy fatass American college student

and it is actually causing physical pain ow

brb going to get some salad and fish and fruit and

Pick up some cool ranch doritos, some of those 98 cent store brand 2liters of soda, and pizza pockets while your out.

Found out my dad has hypothyroidism, opening up the possibility that I have it too. Now we wait for those blood tests, I suppose.

He also said he has anemia but the doctor already ruled that out for me, I think.

My butt was bleeding every time I pooped this past week

I waited for it to stop before telling y'all so you don't freak out.
I want everyone to remember me for my quality health decisions.
