You ever be showering and your vision starts going fuzzy and you have to sit down so you don’t pass out and fall?

@NerdyPotato I believe the combo of more salt and more fluids can raise blood pressure in a safe way.

@ElwoodBlues in theory, yes. When it's as low as ours, that's not sufficient though.

@ElwoodBlues that’s what my mother has to do, she has orthostatic hypotension

She needs to drink an insane amount of water and up her salt intake. She also takes midodrine

@degraded
That’s scary! Did you ever find out what happened?

@degraded I did that once during a run and woke up to several people standing over me telling me not to stand up and to wait until EMS got there

@Telcontar I was shaken but later thought nothing of it.

I came through shower upon fainting and landed on floor. I remember the flow of blood resurging to my head

@QCDog2659 it’s the craziest feeling

@MommaBear Yes.

@Starcrossed I’ve been suspecting pots syndrome but they refuse to check for it and just tell me to add more salt but I’ve been recently diagnosed with broken heart syndrome

@SwampFlower I’ve been suspecting pots syndrome but they refuse to check for it and just tell me to add more salt but I’ve been recently diagnosed with broken heart syndrome

@MommaBear the refuse to check for pots but did check for broken heart syndrome? Lol. I feel like if they were able to diagnose broken heart syndrome they would be able to diagnose/rule out pots too at the same time ? Something's fishy
