I do keep well hydrated most of the time and don't really make any quick moves anymore.
The weird thing about this particular episode is that there were none of those hypotensive warning signs.
I will keep in mind involvement independent of RSD.
Thank you again.  |
Hi, my name is loretta, and I also have passed out (over an hour) when getting up in the morning.Spent 4 days in semi-icu blood pressure was 60-40 very dangerous. It does have to do with the autotomic nervous system. the para sympathetic nerv. system brings it low and the sym. nerv. system takes it high. always a balancing act. kinda like we get hot and sweaty and ice cold, back and forth. I have monitor and check it nearly dailey. My Dr. said not to bend head down for any length of time. like washing hair in shower, shaving, I am very careful, once it happens it more likely to happen again. Take care, loretta
