[QUOTE="DS3, post: 515356, member: 12441"] LOL. Now it makes sense. :) So I got my answer today. Well at least to the passing out episodes... Good news is that it is not life threatening, and it will correct itself on its own. They are going to give me medications for it. There really isn't any bad news. I have a couple of issues going on with my heart. The first is POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrom. Basically when they put me into a standing position my heart beats per minute went way over 140. The second thing is Neurocardiogenic Syncope -with Vasodepression and Cardioinhibitory. This is actually kind of rare. Don't know if I should feel special or not. LOL. It's where both my blood pressure AND my beats per minute drop suddenly, which causes me to pass out. So the medications I am starting will help to raise my blood pressure, then in a couple of weeks we start the ones to lower the heart rate. I have low blood pressure to begin with, so it shoudl work out over-all. (Beginning BiPolar (BP) was 100/63 today). So yeah. We got an answer. As to what causes it? They don't know. When will it correct itself? They don't know. When can I stop taking the medications? They don't know. So we shall wait and see what happens. [/QUOTE]
