You all have me wondering about this. I suffer from an inner ear problem. I get vertigo nystagmus and a lot of other symptoms. I had been told by a chiropractor many many years ago that he didn't feel my blood pressure changed as well as it should when he lifted me up on the type table he used. I don't have the drastic symptoms that you all describe. I fainted alot when I was preganant and in gym class even though I wasn't heavy I couldn't run well and would faint after running. Now I am 52 and 30 pounds overweight. My blood pressure is around 85- 90 over 55 - 60. Usually standing my blood pressure is 107 or so over 65 or so. Of course if I am moving around alot and things it changes. If I sit in my chair and watch a movie and especially if I eat. Some times I can start to feel my vision getting nystagmus and i will try and stand up and be off balance and fall over. I have always thought it was an inner ear problem. Eating really seems to affect my balance. I have taken my blood pressure trying to test myself by standing for 10 minutes to see if it drops or anything. I can't tell. I was thinking the other day that some of this feeling I get might be the feeling of fainting and not just veritgo. A question I have for those that have some knowledge of this. Can a person have just some dysautonomia where its not a servere as is described by people here? It would be good to know whats been happening to me all this time. Thanks if anyone can help.
