Strange abdomen faitning feelings

Posted by rjoestein @rjoestein, Mar 22 1:37am

Greetings, everyone! I have a symptom which I have not seen a doctor about, but will soon. It's kind of hard to explain, and I'm not sure if this is the right thread for it, but here goes:
Whenever I sit up from sitting for awhile, I have a strange temporary feeling in my abdomen and feel a bit faint. Also, this strange feeling goes into my legs and for a moment I feel like I am going to fall down or faint, but it goes away in a few short moments. It's hard to explain, but I am trying to figure out what would be the reason for this feeling.
Some background information about me: I am 50 years old, have not had high blood pressure (which I'm regulating with pills), and have developed an inguinal hernia (which does not cause pain). I went to the doctor's office a month ago because I had some pretty bad stomach cramps. He prescribed for me new blood pressure pills and scheduled me for an endoscopy to see what the stomach pains were about. I will have it next week. Since my visit to the doctor, the stomach pains have pretty much gone away. Although, those pains seem to have been replaced with this strange phenomenon I described earlier in this post.
After consulting "Dr. Google", I diagnosed myself with either anemia, low blood sugar, or some heart problems. Of course, I'm not going to rely on the internet for my diagnosis. I'll get the real prognosis eventually. But I'm just wondering if anyone else has had these strange feelings? I seems so phantom and mysterious.
BTW, I also consulted with the new "doctor" in town, Dr. Deepseek. Who else uses AI chats to get some sort of idea of what's going on with them?

Hey there. I couldn’t believe it when I saw your post. My mom has been reporting the same symptoms since she returned home from a 2 week hospital stay. She has a hiatal hernia and hypertension she treats with meds and diet. AShe is in a new blood pressure med. She also has neuropathy in hands and feet, as well as extremely low Vitamin D and anxiety. She’s returning to her gastroenterologist soon.

I have a friend who just had surgery to repair her hernia and she says she used to feel dizzy if she bent over. But not otherwise. My mom’s episodes seem to occur when she gets up, so it’s a mystery. I hope you get some responses.
