faint and dizzy on ring
Posted: 06-02-08 10:05am

I've read about different side effects that some have experienced, but I haven't come across my own yet! Haven't done as much research as I should, still working on it...Not even sure if this has anything to do with the ring, but i'm not on any other medication. I'm 20 years old & have been married for 8 months. I've been on the ring for 3 months now, and I've experienced the crazy mood swings & loss of interest sexually. Unfortunately, this has been the ONLY medication I've ever come across to finally clear my skin. A miracle. So I'm almost willing to put up with anything. This just scared me a little...
About a month ago, I was working, and in the middle of my sentence to my client, I was suddenly dizzy and felt faint. I sat down and started shaking all over and had a cold sweat. So, figured my blood sugar dropped. Well, it happened again a couple days ago. All the sudden, I was SO hot and started sweating all over. (And I've always been so cold natured.NEVER has this happened.) I made an excuse to run to the back of the shop and sat down, scared I would pass out. Luckily, it passed. I've met only one person to have similar side effects.
Has anyone else had this happen??? i know this may lead to other problems if it's not taken care of...but i also dont want to worry myself about nothing!

It doesn't seem likely to me that your symptoms (sudden dizziness, faint, cold sweat and shaking) are due to the ring. They could be due to hypoglycemia but needs prove. Did you measure your glucose level when last time had these symptoms?
