Lightheadedness is one of my worst symptoms.
I will not be seing an LLMD for another few months and I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to manage this symptom.
I know that it gets much worse when I eat simple sugars or do not eat a meal for a prolonged period of time.
This suggests hypoglycemia may play a role, however eating well doesn't necessarily make the symptom go away.
It also gets worse during psychologically stressful situations, such as running late or getting lost in my car.
My lightheadedness gets much worse when I do any sort of physical exertion.
I've only fainte once, bu the only reason I haven't fainted since my first time is because I can recognize the warning signs and stop whatever I'm doing.
My question is, does anyone know of any "home remedies" (i.e. non perscription) for lightheadedness or how it can be better managed?
Thanks.

Ginger tea or capsules
Magnesium & B-6 (to help reduce toxins and exhaustion)
Adrenal support herbs (ashwagandha, cordyceps, or Siberian Ginseng - not regular ginseng)
frequent small meals with protein, complex carbs and good fats.
Frequent rest periods
Avoid over-doing, avoid bending over or lifting more than 10 pounds - if the inner ear is connected to this, it's not good to stress it.
Liver support, too, as toxins can contribute to this.

Keebler, I'll look into some of the natural remedies for the adrenal support.
I definitely suspect adrenal dysfunction, even though my endocrinologist disagrees.
I also know that when I eat salty things or drink lots of water with electrolytes things always get better, so I'll need to do more of that.
