Dizziness, low BP, bloating, head heavy
I was taking Hydroxycut (fat burner) empty stomach every morning and Creatine at night for 45 days while going to gym. 17 days ago I felt faint at gym, came home, and since then I've been experiencing dizziness, sweating even in AC, and low BP (60/120). I visited a doctor — full body checkup including liver came back normal.
But I still have: low BP episodes, bloating, heavy head, warm stomach, excessive burping and gas. Doctor prescribed Rabeprazole for 5 days. I self-took Pantoprazole for 2 days. Also took Laxitas last 2 days.
I don't feel back to normal. Not comfortable going to gym or going out. Is this prolonged recovery from stimulant overuse or something else? Should I be worried? How long will it take to feel normal again?
Hydroxycut may cause jitters, increased heart rate, anxiety, or sleep disturbances in sensitive individuals. It is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women, or individuals with pre-existing heart conditions or blood pressure issues.
Creatine absorbs water and causes low BP.
My advice is to stop these two drugs and gym exercise. On recovery, start gym, but do not follow your gym trainer advice. We have seen many irreversible cases created by gym trainers.
