First time I&#8217;ve hosted a party at my house and planning the food and entertainment &#8211; and getting all the cleaning done &#8211; is going to occupy much of the rest of my week.<\/p>\n<p>3. I&#8217;ve had some recent issues with dizziness recently. Over the past few months, I&#8217;ve had a few dizzy spells &#8211; usually after a fast swim. They would pass quickly and I didn&#8217;t think anything of it.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I got a little dizzy at work. It was near the end of the day and it was 80 degrees in the office. Figured I&#8217;d feel better after my swim. In the pool, I stopped at the shallow end and was panting after a fast lap &#8211; and got a little dizzy for a moment. Figured I needed to slow down and regulate my breathing a bit. After the swim, I got dizzy while I was rinsing my goggles.<\/p>\n<p>(I just accidentally typed &#8220;googles&#8221; there. \u00a0Geek!)<\/p>\n<p>Figured I had just worn myself out &#8211; though it lasted a little longer than previous ones.<\/p>\n<p>Now, at this point, someone who is not an adult male would have started to see a pattern. But, even with all this evidence, I pretty much just dismissed it all.<\/p>\n<p>Went out to eat last night and got massively dizzy after ordering my food. To the point where I would have fallen over had I tried to stand up. It got slightly better, but I was still somewhat dizzy for the rest of my meal. Never passed out, but not from lack of trying. By the time I was done and had to go to the bathroom, I was mobile and able to walk a straight line. I got a ride home and was pretty much recovered before bed &#8211; though I could feel myself putting forth more effort to stay balanced.<\/p>\n<p>This morning, I called and got an appointment to see my doctor today. I&#8217;m feeling much better &#8211; but it&#8217;s worth checking out. I&#8217;m guessing it was too much caffeine and too much effort in the pool along with overheating in the office &#8211; but I thought I had enough to eat and I stayed pretty well hydrated yesterday. There&#8217;s also a lingering, low-level, headache that won&#8217;t quite go away. So, ever so slightly worried and a trip to the doctor is a good idea.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll update after my doctor visit this afternoon. \u00a0Until then, plenty of water, sugary snacks, a fan on full blast, and hopefully a quiet day at work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve some issues with my blog recently, hence the lack of posts.
