<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I would like to thank everyone for their responses to my question regarding fainting episodes. I went to my doctor, who did a "tilt test" and found that I have neurally mediated hypotension. This is a medical term for low blood presure and fainting. I need to increase my salt and fluid intake and not stand for long periods of time as standing causes blood to pool to the legs--which causes fainting. Sitting for long periods can also cause this. I received about 25 responses, and I will send a summary of all the responses to anyone who wishes to see them. I will also send the summary to each person who responded to my post. If you would like a summary, please e-mail me privately. The summary is very long; therefore I won't post it to the list as I'm sure not everyone wants to read it. Thanks again everyone. This listserv is a lifesaver! -- A. Rene' Delehanty-Eichem Manhattan, KS mailto:[log in to unmask]
