misstraci Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Trying to understand what exactly cerebral hypoperfusion is and I can't seem to find a definition. Do you know what this means?Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noreen Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 It means that when you are experiencing symptoms, there is a temporary reduction in blood flow (and accompanying oxygen) to your brain. This is why your vision may fade and you might pass out. If you lie down or fall down or just wait a few seconds it goes away. It's common in people who stand up too quickly when their blood volume or blood pressure is too low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

songcanary Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 It happens to me all the time. That is why I am scared to do anything away from home, because I never know when it will hit. I hate it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
