My 84 year old mom, who is a devout Christian, loves Trump, and is very based has had a bad week. She is suffering from pain in the right side of her neck, dizziness, and overall weakness. My sister rushed her to the ER yesterday, which my mom had been reluctant to go because she doesn't trust hospitals, where they did a slew of tests, but gave no clear results. I personally believe it's inner ear as she suffers from vertigo. But it's the weakness from an otherwise very fit woman, that has me concerned. She is not vaccinated and has never had a flu shot. I won't be on here till late this evening so I would like to thank any and all who would lift her up. Her name is Ernestine. Thank you Frens.

If it helps, my 82 year old dad works construction with me every day with me in the hot Texas sun. He is a beast, up on ladders, lifting beans etc, and on occasion he will experience exactly what you describe. Only recommendation is more h2o. He goes back to beast mode in the ensuing days.
I am not a doctor, but I had dizzy spells and vertigo for a few years. The symptoms suddenly became more severe after crawling around under a truck doing repairs one day. My doc called it Meniere’s Disease, he gave me some motion sickness meds and told me to try the Epley Maneuver. Both helped some, but not much or for long. A year or so later, I became sick, so I treated that with Ivermectin at 2 to 3 times the horse rate per day, for about a week. All dizziness is gone; has been for more than a year.
Thank you Fren <3
If her problem is low electrolytes, more water will make that worse. If she isn't getting the proper amount of water to begin with, you're probably right. However if she drinks water in normal amounts, it could be electrolytes like potassium or magnesium or calcium.
I agree. There are many good electrolyte products that are easy to add to water/beverage of choice with or without flavoring. I use ones from Keto Chow. They are liquid drops I put in my water. They do make a difference.
Blazing saddles comes to mind...
