All of my meds list "dizziness" as a side effect. I have low blood pressure, too. I have some "eating issues" and don't eat much food, either. (Personal battle that isn't something I want to get into...but, admittedly, it's a factor.)

Last year, I was standing in front of my bathroom sink, felt dizzy and stepped backwards, attempting to "steady" myself. I misjudged the distance.

I fell on my rear end, hard, in the bathtub. The bad part was that the back of my skull directly hit the ceramic soap dish holder - full force. I couldn't get out of the bathtub...boyfriend heard me screaming in pain. It hurt...a lot. The head impact.

Pain, blood, ER, brain scans (a handful of tests, MRI, etc., including stroke as one of my pupils was widely dilated and the other wasn't). Checked out "ok" except my skull was split open in the back/fractured. Hurt, too.

After the tests came back OK, they used a stable gun on the back of my fractured skull. Returned to the hospital a week later for post-exam and staple removed. Obviously, I had a concussion and "spaced out" for a couple of months. Couldn't read, etc.

There have been others but that one was the most memorable. Not recommended. 0/10
Thanks for this!
