julieph85 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Everytime I raise my voice at my toddlers- like call their name or raise my voice to tell them no, I feel like I'm gonna pass out for a few seconds. Does this happen to anyone else and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brethor9 Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Me too!!!! Anytime I raise my voice, laugh or anything like that I have that sensation....now when I do it my heart is actually skipping beats....scary!! I dont know why it happens.....maybe it is causing an adrenaline release or a vagal response?Bren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I haven't experienced this but it is probably due to the fact hat the amount of force you are using to breathe out can affect your HR ad BP. I don't know if Dr K did this test with you, but he has one test where you breathe into a tube and you have to exert a certain amount of pressure for a certain amount of time while your BP and HR are monitored. I believe that it is linked to vasovagal response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elfie Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Happens to me--- the men in my life love it! I don't yell or scream-- it makes me sick! There is an upside . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julieph85 Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi Katie, I've had it done twice by different docs. The test makes me feel horrible but they say my results are normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I have the same problem, although some days just talking in a normal voice will give me the same feeling. Also have a similar response whenever I have to do the "breathe deep" thing when they listen to my lungs. Always have to lie down after that one as I get so light headed.

Wendy C. Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Yes!!! (said quietly) It has gotten worse since I began Midodrine, too. I notice it when reading or singing to my toddler-it can be exhausting. It isn't happening the entire day though, because sometimes I can sing with no problem.

bellajulz Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Happens to me, there have been several times where I actually fainted . I can not argue or get in a heated discussion without at least the feeling that I am going to pass out. I have passed out while scolding my kids, very scary for them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katybug Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hi Julie,Yes, my tests were normal too although during the test I got that really "drunk" feeling that I get with POTS. Now, that I think about it, I said I don't get this symptom but I think I really don't know because I don;t think I have really had cause to raise my voice for anything since I had to stop teaching horse back riding lessons last year.

jenglynn Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah, I have a difiiculty .yelling- and by about 5pm in the afternoon then usually have no voice. Sound like very hoarse and can hardly speak! Kids and Hubby LOVE this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm generally considered to be a very quiet, docile person, so this doesn't affect me often. I'm very slow to anger.When I do start to raise my voice, I do notice the dizziness increasing. I think it's definitely related to the breathing (increased pressure) needed to produce a louder voice that is the trigger. I've never passed out from raising my voice, but I don't feel well afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomtoGiuliana Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I definitely remember when I was really sick that it took effort to speak at even a normal volume. Yes, even now I find yelling or singing can leave me feeling a little winded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
