amy777 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Driving today I felt a rush of dizziness and then felt like I was going to pass out. Took my pulse which seemed very slow and then it like caught up to itself. Called my cardio and he said he thought it was a vagel episode and it was probably because my blood pressure dropped and it was 1pm and I hadn't eaten anything since 9am. Anyone experience this??? BTW--started the salt pills today:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 Yep, happens all the time to me. Normal for POTS and NCS. Trying to eat small meals frequently can help. The salt should to, along with increased fluid intake.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted November 20, 2004 Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 This sounds like a "normal" POTS symptom. I agree with Nina--small, frequent meals, more fluids, and continuing with salt will help.take care,Katherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
