I have been extremely fatigued so I go to the rec center around 7am for a warm water out. I'm fatigued before I start and even more after. My vision is blurred, and at first I thought it was from my high blood pressure. My blood pressure has been so out of control that my doctor has changed my medication at least five different times. My thoughts are that the CRPS has effected my blood pressure. My doctors thoughts are that I may need to have my Ultra Sound of my renal arteries to see if they are being choked somewhere.
Has anyone had anything simular happen to them like the fainting, or feeling dizzy, or having their blood pressure out of control?

Thanks for writing!
I've had this SOB for 28 years. And, I'm pretty danng sure, that the pain, (Or, some effect of it) raises BP.
My Doctor, (A REAL PRO @ RSD) is certain. The rest of your symptomolgy seems accurate as well.
How long have you had RSD?
I don't want to make this a generalized statement. My Doctor is at the leading edge of RSD.
So, he has no reason to 'Run All the Tests', to look for this and that, because he see's so many patients/day that all have the same symptoms.
So why run up the bills (Unless you're in a legal contest), when he KNOWS what's up?
I wish that more folks had doctors like mine. He was partners with DR S in Philly.
Dr S went out to be one thing, My doc, (KNOBLER, ROBERT) went out on his own, because Jefferson University Hospital, opted to build a headache wing, rather than an RSD/MS wing.
So, thar ya have it.
RSD can screw with EVERY thing in your body!
Never discount RSD!
(Although, you never hafto blame things on it).
Hope you're all well~
Pete
