Sudden new episodes of fainting, after blood pressure was hypotension

YES! I was a pastry chef for 30 years and hurt my back really bad. All of a sudden I started having huge palpitations and when I would bend over I began to pass out. I was 49 it had never happened in my extremely active, physical life. Syncope and or POTS . After many Drs I was told to eat as much salt as I could🥺 Apparently I didn't tell them I had been craving salt and licking Doritos in copious amounts. Now my BP borderline HIGH! I was also prescribed fluronef/fludrocortisone to help keep liquid in. Now I know if the gray blanket sensation coming over my head to hurry and get on floor or ground because I'm passing out. I did the loop recorder crap and I'm thinking that's a scam. 4 years and many many palpitations like my heart coming out of my chest BUT no info from recorder UNLESS in middle of episode I had presence of my to hold recorder over my heart, press button and wait or not wait for beep and light HELLO IM PASSING OUT! Drink lots of water and Powerade zero is my advice.

OMG!!! this is SO SO INSIGHTFUL HELPFUL THANK YOU!! These are my symptoms, and YES, I can tell people "hey I am on verge of passing out..I see only black dots..get me some gatorade or OJ etc.)...cause I experienced this about 5 times..And yes, my docs have mentioned I am a person who should be adding salt etc. like you.. I am not under any care for high cholesterol or hypertension, or diabetes... I visited a cardiologist and I am now wearing a smart technology heart monitor for 7 daysscheduled for an EKKOcardiogram, a heart ultrasound too, but NOW I will tell my Primary doc what you suggested and ask for this tilt-test which I read about when I googled Syncope and POTS..term I never heard of before. THANK YOU STRANGER!! wishing you peace and will let you know what I find out because now I am afraid to walk right after I wake up from sleeping or resting..fearing I will black out again..btw my heart rate, resting pulse..is consistently low but has been very low recently. take care dear
