I still don't have a diagnosis, so I don't know the origin. I was prescribed oxybutynin for bladder control. It really works! I take 1 at night, 1/2 daytime. Hope this may help.

Hello @bamaobie1
That is a good question! Has your doctor made any suggestions? If not, you might ask for a referral to a pelvic floor therapist.

Hello @sally12345,

I appreciate you adding to this discussion. You mention that your doctor is going to add a beta blocker. Is that to treat this symptom as well?

I have had the whoosh feeling also. In my case it lasts for say 10-15 minutes. I get double vision, and feel unbalanced. I ended up in the ER. I have cut back on caffeine also. I am on blood thinner Plavix, BP meds, and cholesterol meds. I feel good most of the time. I would love to know why this whoosh feeling occurs.

No. No fainting. It’s just a disorientation of sorts. Very hard to describe. It’s the ischemia.
