Hi. I m and 11 year old girl and I get dizzy spells a lot. When I m sitting down or standing up it will feel like I m about to pass out. I get them about 2 or 3 times every two days. Is this normal? And I not what might I have? Do I need to go to a doctor?
A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with orthostatic hypotension and have been taking generic Florief (Fludrocort 0.1 mg) since. More recently I have had to adjust my dosage to 1/2 every other night since my BP has sometimes been high. Last Friday morning s readings were good: sitting 121/68-70, standing 101/65-75. I took 1/2 pill at bedtime. I did not check on Saturday but Sunday am readings were 144/79-65 sitting & 121/71-71 standing. Today am: 103/63-69 sitting, 80/50-75 standing and at 5:40 pm 120/62-70 sitting. I am puzzled by why my BP readings are so erractic, sometimes HIGH and sometimes LOW. I get headaches & am dizzy when it is high and yet I am very dizzy when it is low. Any suggestions on how to keep it consistent?
Hi, i have a problem of every time i stand up, even if it is not too fast i get a bit dizzy and everything gets dark. Usually when I have a bit of low blood pressure this happens but only if i get up quickly. What seems to be happening here is even if i take my time getting up I get dizzy and blank and have to hold on to something before it passes, which usually takes around ten seconds. What is the problem it is worrying me? Thanks, Jenny.

I was hospitalized yesterday for very high bp (avg 190/115), did an ecg and had abnormal t-wave (inverted). They gave me a shot of nitro and iv injected beta blocker...a few hours later, bp returned to normal (128/82 avg). They released me, but I m going for a stress test in the next couple of days. Today my bp was high again this a.m., but is now averaging 90/60 or less, is this a sign of something serious going on, and should I get back to the hospital? I am a calm person, I d just rather be safe than sorry.
In the last few weeks, I have started having like a hot flash in my neck and checks; almost like I m blushing. I suffer with lack of energy, depression and anxiety (grieving loss of spouse of 30 years and mother) but this is a new situation. Currently being treated for high blood pressure with HCTZ in the morning and Norvasc at night. I take vitamin D (5,000 IU) daily along with CoQ10 and Xanax PRN. I m 64 and thought I had gone through menopause already. Could this be the anxiety/depression and if so, what supplement could I take to help. I have no insurance so medical testing is not an option at this time.
