Why Does Coconut Make Me Dizzy/Lightheaded?
There are several factors that could be contributing to the dizziness you feel after drinking coconut milk. Some of them are related to cholesterol, high blood pressure, and even anxiety. However, you should keep in mind that there are no scientific studies that prove that coconut milk is the reason for your dizziness.
MCFAs in coconut oil
Coconut oil contains high amounts of MCFA or medium-chain fatty acids. These are able to transport cholesterol and fat to the liver and are also responsible for improving brain function in Alzheimer’s patients. These fats are also known to raise HDL cholesterol levels in the body, a form of good cholesterol. Moreover, they help prevent liver damage. Additionally, they boost energy and endurance. In addition, they contain antioxidants and proteins, making them a “superfood”.
MCFA are found in all types of oils, including coconut oil. MCT oil is higher in MCFA content than virgin coconut oil. The MCFAs in MCT oil helps the bowels function properly by regenerating the muscles of the intestines. These fatty acids also help soften stool.
Anxiety
If you’ve ever wondered why coconut makes you dizzy and lightheaded, you’re not alone. Coconut milk is high in cholesterol and can affect blood pressure. It may also cause dizziness and headaches. And, in some people, it can cause adverse skin reactions. So, if you’re prone to the effects of coconut, it’s worth seeking medical advice before consuming it.
Diuretics
Diuretics are substances that cause the body to produce more urine. These substances also affect the activity of the kidneys, which eliminate waste products and return essential nutrients and hormones to the bloodstream. Diuretics have a number of benefits, including relief from water retention and bloating. Some diuretics are also used to treat certain medical conditions. For example, they can help lower blood pressure and help women manage PMS symptoms. They may also be prescribed for hormonal acne.
Some diuretics can cause dizziness in women. They may also cause headaches. The body may experience low sodium levels, which leads to dizziness. Other side effects may include fainting and an increase in blood pressure. Some herbs, such as hawthorn, may interact with some medications and cause dizziness and nausea. They can also lower potassium levels in the blood.
Symptoms of acid reflux disease
If you have ever had a sore throat, you know the pain and discomfort that are associated with acid reflux. This condition is often accompanied by a sour taste in the mouth and burning in the lower chest. Many times, these symptoms appear after eating or bending over. You should visit your doctor if you notice that the symptoms persist or worsen. In some severe cases, indigestion may indicate a heart attack.
However, before you begin taking coconut oil to relieve heartburn, you should be aware of the health risks. Coconut oil is high in saturated fat. This is not good for your heart or blood vessels. High-fat foods can worsen acid reflux symptoms. While plenty of saturated fat is not harmful, excessive amounts can cause complications.

Park City is a city in Utah, United States. The vast majority is in Summit County, and it extends into Wasatch County.[5] It is considered to be part of the Wasatch Back. The city is 32 miles (51 km) southeast of downtown Salt Lake City and 20 miles (32 km) from Salt Lake City’s east edge of Sugar House along Interstate 80. The population was 8,396 at the 2020 census. On average, the tourist population greatly exceeds the number of permanent residents.
After a population decline following the shutdown of the area’s mining industry, the city rebounded during the 1980s and 1990s through an expansion of its tourism business. The city currently brings in a yearly average of $529.8 million to the Utah Economy as a tourist hot spot, $80 million of which is attributed to the Sundance Film Festival.[6] The city has two major ski resorts: Deer Valley Resort and Park City Mountain Resort (combined with Canyons Village at Park City) and one minor resort: Woodward Park City (an action sports training and fun center). Both Deer Valley and Park City Mountain Resorts were the major locations for ski and snowboarding events at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Although they receive less snow and have a shorter ski season than do their counterparts in Salt Lake County, such as Snowbird resort, they are much easier to access.
In 2015, Park City Ski Resort and Canyons resorts merged, creating the largest ski area in the U.S. In all, the resort boasts 17 slopes, 14 bowls, 300 trails and 22 miles of lifts.
The city is the main location of the United States’ largest independent film festival, the Sundance Film Festival; home of the United States Ski Team; training center for members of the Australian Freestyle Ski Team; the largest collection of factory outlet stores in northern Utah; the 2002 Olympic bobsled/skeleton/luge track at the Utah Olympic Park; and golf courses. Some scenes from the 1994 film Dumb and Dumber were shot in the city. Outdoor-oriented businesses such as backcountry.com, Rossignol USA, and Skullcandy have their headquarters in Park City. The city has many retailers, clubs, bars, and restaurants, and has nearby reservoirs, hot springs, forests, and hiking and biking trails.
In the summertime, many valley residents of the Wasatch Front visit the town to escape high temperatures. Park City is usually cooler than Salt Lake City as it lies mostly higher than 7,000 feet (2,100 m) above sea level, while Salt Lake City is situated at an elevation of about 4,300 feet (1,300 m).
In 2008, Park City was named by Forbes Traveler Magazine as one of the “20 prettiest towns” in the United States.[7] In 2011, the town was awarded a Gold-level Ride Center designation from the International Mountain Bicycling Association for its mountain bike trails, amenities and community.[8]
