Today I sat down to eat my lunch, felt odd, and fainted. I was sitting in a chair and just sort of slumped. I came to with my lunch in my lap and my fork on the floor.

Possibilities-

It is normal for me to have low blood pressure. I haven't taken it since on hhcg (VLCD 22) so I don't know if that is it. I suspect it has been lower than normal, I stay very cold and often feel light-headed.

I am having a hard time getting enough calories. I am only eating one fruit a day, stopped eating melba, and am up to about 4 oz of protein, twice a day, plus veg. My calories are often between 3-400.

I have mild sleep apnea and fell asleep without the c-pap last night - I often pull it off in the night, but I didn't even get it on last night. Best night of sleep I've had in ages. I may have experienced low oxygen, though.

Extreme TOM right now. I know my hormones are off and plan to start using progesterone after hhcg, but I have had spotting every day on hcg and started a week early - 3 days ago.

I was taking an adrenal supplement before hhcg and stopped about two weeks ago. I've been on it about 4-5 months after hormone testing showed whacked-out levels. Compounding pharmacist recommended staying on ADR for life. If I'm resetting my hypothalamus, I'd like to see what happens without the adrenal support. May need to re-think that.

I had a life-whammy hit last week - stress levels through the roof!

I've only fainted once before in my life and that was 30 years ago - heat/hunger/exhaustion.

I'm halfway to my goal and would like to continue through a 40 day round. But - I do a lot of driving and now I am nervous about getting behind the wheel. I did several searches and read other similar posts and the obvious response is - go to the Dr. However, I'm a little concerned that my regular Dr will not approve of the HCG and I would rather not go down that road. KWIM?

I'm going out later today and can stop and get a blood pressure reading at CVS.

Any other thoughts?
