This happened to me but it was not long after I'd finished chemo and radiotherapy. I was taken to hospital, but apart from observation, that was it. No tests of any kind. 🤔xB
Not me.
The only timeI have heard of this is when one's blood pressure is so low, blacking out may occur. Why would someone's BP be so low? Well, there could be many reasons. Ataxia related? If u r taking "plasmapheresis" treatment OR if u have suspected MSA and your BP has been artificially lowered in anticipation of tests. Not sure... But Dr Harriet is right, Check this out with an MD pronto.
Definitely get it checked. I know that my Dad used to have problems when he got up quickly. We just waited.
