Super Dizzy/Lightheaded, especially in the evening?

My doctor had put me on a gluten-free & egg-free diet but I didn't feel any better so we are now seeing if treating for possible candida will lessen my symptoms (I've been very tired, and my digestion started getting "off" since January with burping/reflux/vague abdominal pain). So I am on grapefruit seed extract - 500 mg 3x a day - for about 1 week now, and in addition to being gluten-free & egg-free I am minimizing my carbs.

Lately I have also been feeling very dizzy & lightheaded, especially when I stand up or turn my head. But after I started the Grapefruit-Seed-Extract I've had some very dizzy moments where my vision gets sort of black after I stand up, it hits me 3-5 steps after I've got up -- not right away. It's not vertigo - there's no spinning.

I've also had two weird episodes where I was very faint, felt sort of removed from my body (like I'm not 'all here'...) and when I measured my blood pressure it had dropped to 93/76, which is definitely weird for me. The BP level shot up the second time to higher than usual after that but I still felt weird and dizzy. Both of these incidents happened at night when I was tired although I haven't done much in the daytime.

so while I HAVE been dizzy regularly lately, it only got really bad this week... I've found myself very slowwwwly walking around the house and it's a real trial for me to stand up, is this a side effect of the grapefruit seed extract? or die-off? how long should this last? Tweet
