Hi DC, When I passed out and went to hospital, I was admitted to sem-icu
I thought 4 days, but husband said they kept me 6 days. The sympathetic nervous system causes high blood pressure, and the para sympathetic nervous system causes low blood pressure. That's why, they explained to me that our blood pressure can suddenly plummet. RSD is an autonomic disorder, which means we have no control over involuntary organs, thus issues with blood pressure, circulation, lungs, heart, bladder, colon. The hospital was the same one that RSDSA had their annual meeting at last year. I attended the meeting. There were several Drs. knowledable with RSD. The paramedics couldn't get a pulse and told my husband I was dead. It's very serious. Do you have a cuff and journal? Would be good to monitor it. I felt myself going out too. Very scary. My Dr. says if it happens once, it usually happens again. I have a friend here in Phoenix that has had 3 spells.
I also am having sleep apnea issues and need to go thru sleep study. Do you gasp for air? Does it every wake you up gasping for air? We really need to follow thru and get checked out.
Take care, your friend, loretta
