Good morning ,

For the past year or so, I have had dizzy spells , that seem to attack me at any one time, that I feel like am going to faint as I suddenly go into darkness and takes a few seconds before I come back to normal.

I have been to see my Doctor, but am told it is all part of ageing in life. I turn 79 come September, is this right

Thank you for reading my note..

Hmmm, you're either female & menopausal or it's just part of growing old or "I just don't know, what do YOU think it is"

I'm in my 50's and I have similar experiences.

Research POTS and see if any of the other symptoms they you can identify with. Hopefully you'll find something that will point you in the right direction. Sometimes just a starting point is what you need to research from.

Best of Luck!!!
