At this point he just wont accept anyone else, he insists its me, its close to the end. I had made an appt with a neurologist, but i had to cancel last minute as hubby took turn for worse and it was 90 minute appt. Im really worried, im almost scared to go to store or anywhere any more. Its taking its toll on me. I remember standing in my living room when i was prob. 45 and just dropping, i think at that time i mite have blacked out but i dont black out now, i can tell im gonna drop, the last time i remember thinking put your hands out to protect your face and head, and i did, and immediately people were around me and i just said to them, let me lie here for a few minutes, and of course blood was gushing out of my eye area, its a crazy, scaru situation. Ive been to cardiologist, he says i am fine, ive had lots of tests with him, just about every test possible. yet most drs insist its my heart. So confusing. to those of you that have this if you find any results or if i do, l will post immediately because this is just scary. only happens when standing up, never sitting or lying down either. Maybe bu us all getting togetherand talking about it we can figure it out. Lets pray so.

Hello @liz493047,

I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you. You obviously need to be seen by a doctor to have these episodes diagnosed and treated so that you can be safe. I understand that your husband does not want you to leave, but it's important to care for yourself so that you can care for him. Does that make sense?

Find someone that can stay with your husband so that you can be evaluated. Can you try that?

It sounds like orthostatic hypotension. Try getting up a little at a time, not all at once. This will give the time necessary to get you blood pressure not to drop.
