Need help keto flu or other health issue

(Az zada) #1

Hi,
I started keto last monday. Beside the first, I was feeling alright all week. Today, I am feeling dizzy, thirsty, little headache. I am not sure if this is keto flu or my blood pressure. My blood pressure is 113/89. Usually, it is 132/89 with pills.
Thanks
