Is it possible you were having an autonomic dysreflexia situation? Sometimes my blood pressure drops really badly and it's usually caused by something wrong with somewhere I can't feel. Most of the time when I have autonomic dysreflexia my blood pressure rises, but every once in a while it drops...
If your blood pressure is low that could be the cause, my doctor had put me on something for low blood pressure a long time ago I wish I remembered what it was, now I am off it and my blood pressure is 130/70 normally unless I'm in pain or something. I would try talking to your doctor. I hope this helps! Danny Espinoza 26/m/California Occupation before accident: Network engineer / SR.

I had a real bad dizzy attack today. I was out front reading on my entrance way on my house. It's not big, just a nice cubby hole to block the wind and reflect the sun/heat. It was about 75 out today, but I don't think I was overheating. At first I was just light headed so I reclined a bit. A neighbor stopped by and I tried to sit up. Everything stated going black. My hearing started fading out. I never went out, but it was close. It was bad for about 30 minutes, but was still not back to normal for hours. Once I was OK, I was just tired for awhile. I keep thinking of getting a prescription for low blood pressure medication to use on days like these. I often get slight cases like this after my b-program I know this topic was going awhile back. Anyone suggest a medication to use on bad days, not an every day med? Though my BP is always low, Maybe I should try a daily medication? Thanks, Greg
