Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 I have just returned from spending the day at the emergency room. My husband blacked out this morning and I could not wake him up. I had to call 911 who came took him to the hospital. This is the second time this has happened since he was diagnosed with Shy-Drager. My question for you is are these black outs real common and would he wake up if I didn't call 911?In both of the recent incidents I was unable to wake him. This time he was out for 20 minutes. He is quite disoriented when he finally comes to. Any information you can give me will be much appreciated. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 3, 2001 Report Share Posted July 3, 2001 Verl, What did the ER people say caused it? It could be low potassium, dehydration, infection or even low BP that caused it. Hopefully they found out which and helped him. Take care, Bill and Charlotte ==================================== verl moon wrote: > I have just returned from spending the day at the > emergency room.
