Thanks for the replies.

I did go when I had the symptoms but like I said it was dismissed because of my bp. I was literrally in with the doctor for 5 minutes, they did no scans, blood tests or anything. I also had to wait 2 hours in the waiting room to see a doctor. The next 2 times I was put in the waiting room for 3 1/2 hrs and 5hrs again with no scans or blood tests. I had to put a complaint in and on the 3rd time they did an ekg and took my blood sugar levels along with my bp and that was it and that was 5hrs after arriving there and by that time my symptoms had gone, my bp had dropped and I had bradycardia. There is no neuro here so I am only seeing junior doctors, there are no other hospitals either.

If it happens again I think I am stuffed. I even had to argue with a paramedic that I needed to go...because my bp was normal, they were quite rude.

Funny you should say that you have neurally mediated hypotension en bloc, as that is what I have but for some reason when these were happening my bp went up. I never have bp like that normally, very odd.
