Hi @wolfbauer. I have been rereading your "welcome" post and something else popped out to me (just like the nerve blocks did). You indicate that you drink a half gallon of water each day. I drink 125 ounces of water every day, which is double the amount that you consume. Whenever I begin to feel faint and return to the couch or bed, I've been advised to drink a decent amount of water - approximately 6 ounces. (Because I am having brain fog at the moment, I can't remember why this was advised). I do know that it helps to elevate my blood pressure, so maybe that is the reason? I can't help but wonder if you drank more water each day, if you would notice a beneficial difference with your AN/D, etc. It really does help me feel better with my presyncope episodes.

I will try that out for sure... thank you for the suggestion! I've only had one syncopal episode, with no prodromal symptoms and my blood pressure has always been ideal, however even with drinking a lot of water, I'm clinically dehydrated (that with vitamin deficiencies, you'd think my kidneys weren't functioning properly, but MRIs, a bunch of urinary analyses, and blood work all indicate they're normal). Still have to figure out the cause of those. I'm hesitant to drink too much extra water right now as I'm taking salt tablets in order to retain more water and don't want to go overboard and have problems from the other side of the spectrum, but once I'm off of them, I'll try more daily. I have already been grabbing a glass whenever I get tachycardic
