Hello,
Things that can cause the MS symptom of passing out can include:
1. Low Blood Pressure (Adrenal glands exhausted or under active).
2. Presence of MS Bladder Infection (because of the MS weakened immune system).It is much more common for MS bladder problems to include burning or painful urination during a bladder infection, but a less common effect of the presence of a bladder infection is passing out from the over stimulation of the nerves that normally contract to allow the bladder to drain.
3. Over Stimulation of the nerves that allow for bowl movements or for the intestines to empty from solid wastes.
Please consult your neurologist, he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
