Low blood pressure issues

[Stacie 1]

I am sorry you are having trouble. Can I ask what your BP is? I am just curious, how low is low. But I think that the more serious issue is episodes, what are your symptoms for an episode?

I hope they figure it out soon, it is so great that you are being proactive!

...and what are cheese poofs? =)

These episodes are almost a fainting, passing out moment with dizzyness, and confusion. My BP was 90/60 when my average BP over my last 3 visits with my surgeon was 115/78. The episodes mainly occur when I get up from a sitting to a standing position. I start walking and bam I almost pass out. It's pretty unnerving because they happen randomly. I've had it happen a few times in Wal-Mart, and I am just walking around the store, no bending over, no sitting/standing.

Cheesy poofs are Cheetos, not the crunchy kind, but the puffy kind. I actually prefer the off-brands to the Cheeto brand. They are the best. My favorite is when I leave the bag open for a couple of hours and they get kind of stale. Gross, I know, but it's true.
