Dejibo,

Have them do a stress test on you. I woud pass out - When I was DRIVING - thank God I got a warning and could pull over quickly, throw it into park and then go out, and at other times I would just go down!

Had the stress test - they put you on a table and strap you down, then they stand you up and see what happens to your BP - Then the fun PART - They spary nitro under your tongue. WOW ---They were a bit worried about me and what happened to my BP. WAY DOWN - To coma status and I was still awake. (Guess I am use to low BP). Diagnosis was that I did not have enough Volumne of fluid in my body - so Must Drink 2 liters to 1 gallon of water a day and have lots of SALT. Said no amount of salt would hurt me, since I HATE the taste of salt I get to take salt tablets too. Also make sure I do not change positions quickly.

Try it out, Sit down and get up quickly, or turn around quickly and see if you get dizzy. If you do then it could be that. Talk to your Cardio.
