What Causes Sudden Fainting Along With Black Out And Low BP?
I had an episode where I went unconscious and temporarily lost my vision; my BP dropped to 70 on my top number. I went to ER and they did a CT scan. No problem there. They did 2 EKGs but nothing there. I have had a constant headache on top of my head that goes down the bridge of my nose. My head feels like it is in a fog. I lose control of my strength in my legs. I had an MRI today which they said was normal. They ruled out a stroke, seizure, MS. Then I had a second episode where I had trouble breathing and had to have help to walk. I have had blood work and they say everything is normal there. I am trying to get in to see a neurologist but they say no openings until February. I am going to see a cardiologist the end of December. Can you give me any help?

fainting usually secondary to cardiovascular or neurologocal problem.by ecg and mri almost there is no heart or brain related issues.it might be bcs of autonomic dysfunction or postural hypotension.know if any of your medications or newonset/existing diabetes is causing the issue.add salt to your diet till then if you are not a known hypertensive.
