I carry the bp machine and pulse ox in my handbag now!

Hi, Yes they did mention the salt intake and drinking more water. I have tried that and now trying the increase of the toporol xl to 25 mg. I was just never "truly" diagnosed with it and it came literally from nowhere. 3 years ago i was at my neighbors having coffee and everything went fuzzy and said i'm going to pass out...it was the worst feeling ever and i had never had it before and it hasn't stopped since...not all the time but i just never know when and i'm afraid to drive far alone or even go to a store myself.

Thank you, The EP doc had mentioned the tilt table test but nothing was happening with covid. I'll see if the toporol helps for now. Lucky for me I have a local Walmart because i don't go very far the last 3 years since this started.

I actually can't believe i found this site. I have been having these "episodes" for 3 yrs now..i have seen every doc in every specialty and no one has an answer for me...i have had numerous stress tests and heart monitors. I never had the "feeling of fainting" while wearing the monitor up until the last one..i had the fainting feeling 3 times and the heart monitor showed absolutely NOTHING. I actually was sitting in the aisle of a supermarket it was so bad. I get a very strange feeling sometimes...i feel "funny"..light headed NOT dizzy. I feel like the lights get dim and i'm not there. There isn't any thing that causes this and i can go weeks and sometimes months without it happening and then it just does. I'm afraid to go anywhere myself and my life has been h*** the last 3 years. It started out of nowhere. The cardiologist put me on toprol xl 12.5 once a day and that's not helping so yesterday he raised it to 25 mg a day. I do NOT have high blood pressure. I just don't know where to go or what to do at this point. I made another neurologist appt for July because the last time i went to one they threw back to the cardiologist. I have no idea what is happening to me and everything i google (pretty sad that's how i have to get my own diagnosis) points to this and pots.
