im trying to narrow down why I am still feeling dizzy and light headed. I have been getting a iced latte from dunkin and only have about half of it. Could that be why im feeling this way. Ally blood work came back perfect so I don't know what is going on and im getting worried

I'm glad to hear that your bloodwork came back normal but that doesn't help getting to the bottom of this issue. Are you currently on any medications that are controlled release? Those would not be absorbing correctly anymore. Are you getting all your water in?

im trying to narrow down why I am still feeling dizzy and light headed.

according according to the University of Rochester:
Early dumping syndrome can occur because of the dense mass of food that gets dumped into your small intestine at an earlier stage of digestion. The intestines sense that this food mass is too concentrated, and release gut hormones. Your body reacts by shifting fluid circulating in your bloodstream to the inside of your intestine. As a result, your intestines become fuller and bloated. Diarrhea often occurs 30 to 60 minutes later. In addition, certain substances are released by your intestine that affect heart rate and often blood pressure, causing many of the symptoms of early dumping. This can lead to lightheadedness or even fainting.

Its all day though. I was thinking it was that as well but its all day. If im lying down it's ok but if im standing sometimes I have to lean on something. Sometimes I think it's all in my head. I have a call to a therapist for monthly appointments. Idk what is going on. I wish it was something in my blood work so I would have an answer but that isn't what happened

Is your blood pressure low? Or do you get spells with a rapid heart rate? Maybe check with a cardiologist?

My blood pressure is almost perfect. No no rapid heart rate. I have an appointment today at 3:30. Hopefully there are some answers.

An iced latte, even if you were drinking all of it, should not cause dizziness or light headedness. Glad you have a doctors appointment because those symptoms are nothing to play with. Hope they can get to the bottom of it today.

Both my doctors think it is dehydration mixed with anxiety. I have been making sure to at least get 64 oz of water a day now! Hopefully that does the trick.
