Lightheadedness, Fatigue After Food Enters Stomach
Had a feeding tube put in a month ago and have been experiencing bizarre symptoms ever since. Within an hour or so after feeding myself, I feel lightheadedness, overheatedness, and often numbness in my feet. There is also a sense of mental fatigue. I have also lost weight, despite a calorie intake above what is required to maintain my weight. The symptoms grow worse during the day with each meal and are lighter if the gap between meals is longer. From my reserach, I suspect this has something to do with stomach emptying, but have been unable to convince my gastroenterologist to do anything more than an Upper GI. Neurologic tests have not provided a clue either. These symptoms did not occur during the period in which I was unable to eat normally due to a complicated swallowing issue, though I am not blaming the tube, since my stomach was seldom full previously. Am wondering if others have experienced such symptoms or have stomach problems affecting other parts of the body. At this point, I feel like I am being written off as a lunatic.
