If blood is pooling in your feet when you stand and causing your BP to drop then you need vaso-constrictors to help...like Midodrine. Florinef will also help to retain fluids. These two meds are the first line treatments (for those needed medication intervention) and can be used together (I take both).
Sounds like you definitely need medication intervention.

Here I am the next day and I'm wondering if the infusion did help. I'm more alert and less lightheaded. Still not how I'd like to feel, but thats another story.
Could it have shocked me, but then helped in such a delayed way?
If they can't figure out what happened to me and how to treat the cause then unfortunately I will have to embrace the symptom medications. There is only so long I am going to live like this. I've decided that life is too short to keep hoping I'll have a normal life again. I just wonder how much these meds do help.
