Dizziness, light-headedness, anxiety. Each of these issues is frustrating to deal with on its own, but together they can be downright debilitating. Charissa found this out first-hand.
“I was constantly feeling dizzy and lightheaded, which was really bothering me,” says Charissa. “I would sometimes wonder if I was going to pass out, which made me nervous while doing certain daily tasks, like driving. Even making breakfast in the morning, the more I would move, the worse I felt. I couldn’t help but think, what if something happens? It was giving me quite a bit of anxiety.”
Charissa knew she needed to figure out what was causing these issues. Her regular doctors couldn’t figure it out and referred her to a cardiologist. Unfortunately, even the cardiologist wasn’t sure what was wrong.
“I ended up talking to a friend from church and she said how she had something similar and went to a functional medicine doctor who was able to help her. So, it got me thinking,” shares Charissa. “I was already familiar with Valeo since my son is also a patient there. When I called in to schedule an appointment, I spoke with the front desk staff and they were able to refer me to Dr. Kassie.”
Functional Medicine Finds Answers
Charissa’s experience with Dr. Kassie was very positive… and very effective!
“Dr. Kassie was very friendly and helpful. She performed various evaluations with body and eye movements, and when I would say what I was experiencing, she had ideas as to why!” exclaims Charissa, relieved that someone may have finally found the answer to her ailments.
“She was great to work with. Based on what she found with her evaluations, she told me my blood pressure was a little low and that I was also probably low on electrolytes. From there, she was able to recommend certain supplements, teas, and at-home exercises for me to perform. The combination worked gradually, and I am thankful to be feeling better!” says Charissa. “It has also been so nice to be able to communicate with Dr. Kassie via email with some of my questions… it’s rare to get to do that with a doctor!”
Thanks to working with Dr. Kassie, Charissa is no longer feeling dizzy or lightheaded, and her anxiety has greatly improved.
“It’s so horrible when you know something is wrong and can’t figure out how to fix it,” says Charissa. “I’m just so happy that I didn’t need surgery, or to be on medication for the rest of my life. What a relief to be able to fix the issues with fairly normal things!”
