WuWei Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Just wondering if anyone else experiences this... I don't eat before work usually (I work 3-11) and after I eat at 5pm I get "dizzy" with brain fog and the DP/DR kicks in really bad. It usually subsides around 9 or 10pm... then lately it's been getting worse when I get home- around midnight. Any input? Maybe I just eat too much in a sitting and I should go with lighter foods and smaller portions more often..?? Also I notice if I force fluids (water, gatorade) even though I'm not thirsty it seems to help after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuroeone Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Mines the opposite when i skip a meal and get even slightly hungry i feel strange and everything gets spacey, i dont ever remember feeling like this when i was hungry pre hppd dp/dr. i never skip a meal now because of this but i can stuff my face with anything, get full as fuck and it doesn't make any difference to my symptoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmo Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I've experienced this. I think it might have to do with the foods that you're eating, that's what it is for me anyways. Whenever I pretty good homeade stuff I feel fine afterwards but whenever I go to Burger King or any other fast food place and get shitty food I feel like shit afterwards and feel really spacey and way more disconnected.

WuWei Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 Yeah, I tried eating less and more often today and it seems to have helped a lot. Healthy foods and eating lighter seems to be the way to go. I've been thinking of doing one of those food allergy blood tests- it's the last thing I can do short of doing a round of Keppra. Insurance doesn't cover the test, but the way I feel after eating almost makes me think in my hypersensitive state I get worse with certain foods. Maybe not... not sure if it's worth the $200 or so for the test and doctor's visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2muchmandy Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 U all need to move to the uk and lap up free healthcare ha. Eating different foods doesnt matter. I still feel anxious when eating. When I ate a big mac I got so anxious my body went numb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morbide Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 I think we all connect everyday-feelings to anxiety, when i have eaten i feel stuffed and i feel kinda sick in my stomach and then i instantly think it'sanxiety. Just relax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Becca Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 Try a low histamine diet. I’m not sure if I have HPPD or lasting covid but I get terrible brain fog and dp/dr when I eat (and when I drink water) but I’ve noticed that low histamine diet definitely helps. Might be worth trying famotidine as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
