Dizzy turns after rads

Hello
Since my rads finished three weeks ago I get very dizzy /lightheaded whenever I start to eat anything, was so bad I called the doctor out on Friday night - he shrugged his shoulders and said didn’t know what was causing it , said I could just be 'wiped out from radiotherapy ’ . Has anyone else felt like this ? I hate this diagnosis I am trying to do everything to help myself like exercising, drinking lots of water, eating healthy but just feel like rubbish most days :frowning:

Hello Ella54, I also had bouts of dizziness after rads. I found that resting helped and trying not to do too much. I know this is frustrating as you want to get on with things, but it’s so important to rest and to let your body recover from all the treatment. I hope you soon start to feel better and am sending best wishes. xx Lily

Thanks Lily59 for your reply just not having a good day today, will give myself a talking to and get on with things, so glad I have somewhere to ask questions as none of my family or friends have had bc so it can feel a bit isolating some days , thanks again x

I too have had dizzy/light headed spells when I was having radiotherapy generally after a couple of hours and I would have to just sit down and let them pass, I thought at first it was because I was hungery because that does happen to me.

 

I wonder if it is actually fatigue coming out in that way for you,

Helena Thank you I had not even considered it might be fatigue I have noticed it can be worse if I have been busy/overdoing things , suppose I will have to get to the acceptance stage of bc and realise I can’t be the same person - think I preferred my denial stage !!

Thank you dizzybee
Yup think I probably expect too much, it is difficult to get a grip on the whirlwind of a journey this bc takes you on. It seems like one symptom subsides and another random one rears its head and the docs just say it’s normal, well it’s not my normal I usually reply, anyway will go and clear out my kitchen cupboards today to stop my mind ruminating and hope I don’t get dizzy or that booby leaks too much ? X take care ladies x x
