Is this normal?!?!

[sherice]

Lately I have been noticing that I have been somewhat dizzy,a little nausea and hyper and sometimes even a little shakey. I am REALLY thirsty and mouth is DRY! Is this symptoms of ketosis or should I worry?

I have never had any of those symptoms.

[jtbull21]

how many calories are you eating per day?

When I'm in ketosis I always have a dry mouth and am thirsty pretty much. Before I started back to low carbing I would experience the res of your symptoms, but that's from blood sugar imbalances according to the book. Are you spacing out your veggies, being sure to eat a balanced meal with fats at least once every 6 hours, and getting your water?

[muffles]

Sounds like deep ketosis, make sure you are eating enough and having enough water!

[sherice]

I will try to add in more water.....I know I am getting plenty of calories...hehe....

Eat more fat. Nothing satisfies like fat.

Are you eating enough carbs? The nausea, dizzyness, and shakey usually comes to me if my bloodsugar drops. If I get these symptoms, it normallly means I'm not eating enough carbs to keep stabilized.

I get really thristy when I drink a lot of water. It seems the more I drink, the more my body wants. I hear this quite often from others who are also drinking a lot of water. And I do tend to get dry mouthed.

If these symptoms persist, then checking with your Dr. can't hurt. Chances are it's nothing to worry about, but when it doubt..give the Dr. a call.
