Do you get dizzy headed when you go too long without anything to eat?

I had breakfast at 8 AM this morn. Then it wasn't until late afternoon we had hamburger and mac with cheese. Before I ate my head was swiming like the room was spinning. After a good lunch I got back to normal. Has this ever happened to you? And does this happen often or just ever so often?

I think that has to do with your sugar level. I never do that. If I have an early breakfast I will buy a snack to eat at lunch time if I know I will not eat until late afternoon. And in your case, a hamburger will not replace dinner either, if that is your biggest meal of the day.

@lookatdesktop A hamburger is not such a bad choice if you eat it at lunch at the right time.

@marguicha It did hit the spot. And yea. It could have been something more along the line of a cold bologna on white bread.

I was much better shortly after eating lunch. I know hamburger and mac is not exactly the best choice but it seemed to take away the dizzy spell and made me calm.

Maybe it's a blood sugar thing. I have a brother with type 2 diabetes and he is 13 years older. I guess It's time I reduce the caffeine, the sweets and start eating more regularly.

I usually have a headache if my stomach is empty. I need to have something when feeling hungry.

Yes... it's called low blood sugar and a lot of people have to learn to live with it. You can feel really nasty when it drops! Thats why I get to eat 6 times a day lol!

That is from not eating it used to happen to me when I got my kids up early to go to school. Had them get dressed fed them breakfast and off to school. My the time the last ones left I finally had time to eat three hours later.

Yea. That said, you too know what it's like to feel like you have swimmer's ear or light headed. It's like that sometimes. Worse than that, I had very strong coffee and that made matters worse.

It is best not to skip meals - unless you are on a fast.
