Feeling Sick and Lethargic


(Niall) #1

I have been doing Keto for around 5 weeks now and it has gone reasonable ok so far although for the last couple of weeks I have had persistent headache.

I wondered if this is down to a Sodium imbalance so have started to drink a Beef Stock from last night.

However today I have been feeling really sick, dizzy, weak and lethargic.

Does anyone know what the cause could be and how to help? I genuinely feel as though I might throw up.

Thanks

It is possible that it’s something about the keto or you could be sick. Also some foods are not well digested, could the case for you. I get headaches with too much sodium. Especially with avocados. So good with salt.

Something else I have thought of. I suffer with bad acid influx/heartburn. It was really bad this morning so I have a large glass of semi skimmed milk. I wonder if that could be a cause?

sodium/electrolyte issues can cause headaches, dehydration can cause nausea… the struggle to find the balance is real!

I am still struggling.

I stopped taking my potassium supplement and have been drinking a pint of OXO Cube with water every day. I have been feeling very lethargic and had headache almost everyday.

I am really sick of this now. I don’t know what to do.
