What Causes Dizziness In A Quadriplegic Male With A Pacer?
Husband is a quadripelegic, and he also has a pacer, Lately he has been experiencing some dizziness after I transfer him into his bed on the way up to a sitting up position. Today he was having a real hard time going up in the bed, his head; and it took about 3 x s before he was ok. He would not let me take his blood pressure. Cheri
