Guest guest Posted May 23, 2001 Report Share Posted May 23, 2001 Had the same problem with dizziness, passing out, blah, blah, blah. Had just about every cardiac and neurologic test there is performed. Final diagnosis was SVT (rapid heart rate) and Orthostatic Hypotension (low blood pressure upon rising from sitting position for example). I'm on medication for the SVT, however it lowers my blood pressure even more, and I was taking Pro-Amatine to raise my blood pressure. Have to take it three times a day, before I get out of bed in the morning, at noon and at 5 pm. It has really helped alot. This all started last March/April. I'm now off the Pro-Amatine, except for " that time of the month " which makes my bp go way down and almost off the heart meds completely. The doctor felt that at the time I got hit with this, my body was in such a state of flux from the weight loss that it needed time to adjust. He felt that I would be off the meds in about a year and he was right. Hope this helps and hope you're doing better. Regina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is also worst during my period. I also throw up a lot during that time, and not any other time. Hmmmm... I am going to see what the blood work shows, and then talk to my doctor.
