I Have Fainted Before

I started fainting when I was 13 and still until today it goes on. So I have fainted before and I still faint. But not as frequent as I used to anymore.

I can not stand up for long time either. What helps me is to lay down. And I can not drink cold water but normal water works too. Also people sometimes might splash water on you.

Well, I have low blood pressure. I used to have low level of sodium, I ate Himalayan salt, I took sodium supplements, I every now and then eat potato chips too yet my sodium is still lower than the lowest treshold but compared to my age 14 it is better. I don't know why I have low blood pressure. But why I have low sodium could be due to the fact that I don't eat much salty

They never could give my mom a definite reason and asking her to recall my health info is like pulling teeth.

I used to have to take grahm crackers and stuff to school so if i felt like i was going to faint i could eat them but i am not sure that even helped.

Usually i have to lay down and put ice cold wash cloth on my neck and drink ice cold water. And it takes a good but of time for it to pass.

I had an episode once this year and probably once a year but as a child it happened alot. Especially when i would be standing in one place for a longer period.

Have they diagnosed the issue? I too had this same problem as a child and still sometimes...not as often ..as an adult.
