Thanks for the reply bombay. So far my blood pressure seems fine, I guess I'll see where that goes sooner or later. I'm glad to hear that it isn't just me with the blackouts and all. I know how dangerous it is though since I was riding my bike and passed out in the middle of the street. Last doctor I went to said that more salt and water would help, since that would allow blood to flow through one of the three arteries a little easier, which has sorta helped the blackouts to be less frequent. Anyways, thanks for the advice
