has anyone else been told they have this along with their anxiety? apparently my blood pressure drops around 20 points when i stand up.. all they told me to do was where compression socks.. but i can't even get them on my feet.. and i know for a fact this is not causing my other symptoms of dissociation, derealization, confusion, light headedness, dizziness, trembling, etc.. thoughts?
