hippychic258 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I thought I could handle being in a recliner because even though I am bedridden I can't lay flat I am always propped up in bed, but wow was I wrong I got so sick . I crashed after 30 minutes I got so sick, and it lasted for hours,,,,,,, what is the big difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBlonde Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Good question! I have the same problem. It's not my HR rising... so I'm guessing it's cerebral hypoperfusion and blood pooling in my abdomen. If I could only sit! It's one of the things that REALLY limits what I do!

corina Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I'm so sorry. Maybe it was caused by getting into the recliner? Were the first 30 minutes good? Maybe build up with 5 mintes at a time from the point where you get sick. I really hope things will get better for you! Mc Blonde, I have an abdominal binder for stomach pooling which helps me a lot!

futurehope Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share Posted August 1, 2012 I know what you mean with the frustration of thinking a recliner should be fine, but it isn't. I have the same issue with a reclining car seat.All I can think is, the recliners that do not work have my heart level too much lower than my head level. When I do my own reclining on a sofa, my chest and heart are almost on the same level , whereas, in many seats that recline, my chest and head tend to be more at a 90 degree angle. Also, my butt has to be closer to my head level than it is in a reclining seat. What a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
