Mrs. Burschman Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hello all,I've got a cold right now, and I'm noticing that it seems like it's made my propensity to black out when I change positions worse. I particularly noticed it when I was shopping. If I crouch down and then stand up, I get a head rush. I'm not taking anything for my cold (such as Sudafed or something.) Anyone else notice this? Why would that happen?Just trying to determine what's normal. Ha, ha. Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat57 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 anything that further fatigues "us" can increase sensitivity. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pastordari Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I have that same "head rush" when sstanding from squatting or crouching. I just have to move a little more slowly than I"m accustomed to (pre-POTS). It does seem to be worse when I'm congested or feeling a bit sick. Can't explain it, but I can relate to what you are describing!Hope you feel better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
