Thread Name: BS: Fainting
Subject: RE: BS: Fainting
Only a couple of times when I was pregnant. Passing out due to anaphalactic shock doesn't count does it? If so I can count the times. 7 maybe 8 in memory.

I have 2 colleagues who faint due to low blood pressure. Terrible. One keeps gettng head injuries when she falls in faint. In the tub, on the pavement waiting for bus, etc. She just gets no warning that she is not feeling right and should sit down. She is 60 so it is a worry re potential brittle bones.

They put her through battery of tests every time she gets an injury. Not epilepsy. Just low blood pressure. The NHS does not treat low blood pressure. I understand it is treated in Europe.

I was a sleep walker and talker through ny mid 30s. I have awakened more than once sitting on the front porch with car keys in my hand. Scary.
