Passed out

Im 3 months out and passed out last night heading for the bathroom. I went today for blood work thinking but might be low Iron or potassium. I've been getting a little dizzy when standing up last couple weeks. I've been getting in my fluids and been eating well. Has anyone had experience with this?

    Well good news. Got my blood work and everything came back normal so thinking blood pressure dropped causing me to black out.

Blood pressure medication sounds like a likely culprit!

Probably Orthostatic hypotension

Went to the emergency got this and they told me it was due to low blood pressure when getting up. I guess some people's BP fluctuates. Just get up slower

I have the same problem. I came off my blood pressure meds right after surgery with no problems. Now I am 8 months out and I am stable with 110 lbs weight loss. I have problems with dizziness when I get up, and I have fainted and fallen twice.

I am being very careful when I get up now. I am being real careful about getting my fluids, and I am exercising more to see if that helps. There seems to be very few treatment options.
