I don't know if this is MS related because I never had problems with my blood pressure and pulse, except once after my 7 yr old was born I had bradycardia and was in the cardiac unit for 1 week. Maybe it's the meds I am on, I am going to call my Neuro. Monday morning but already seen a UGA reg. dr.. so I don't know who will see me for this.. maybe i'm just becoming a hypochondriac *lol* even tho I never had these light-headed, dizzy, chronic headache (even tho I'm on headache meds)..

Although rare, Dysautonomia can be a problem associated with MS:

http://www.mvprolapse.com/dysautonomia.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysautonomia

The 2nd link above, called "mvprolopse", talks about the link with this condition and dysautonomia too . . . there used to be someone on the forums ("mom2three") who they thought had MS, but it turned out to be "mitral valve prolapse syndrome". She had lesions due to migraines.

I can't remember what she used to advise (Cheryl, do you remember?), but something to do with a "bubble" study of the heart.
