Gday!
Everyone I've asked around keeps saying it might be my blood pressure dropping low, and I don't have insurance, if anyone could give some advise would be greatly appreciated.
Anywho, you know when you stand up too fast sometimes you get the 'bloodrush', and you feel slightly disorintated and slightly blackening vision? Well, it's been coming to me more than usual, and I would like to say.. about 6 times, spread out over the past couple of months, it gets... really scary.
It starts out as a usual blood rush, but I could be sitting still watching TV or something (and more dangerous, it usually happens when im driving), then about 2-3 minutes after, it comes back, my vision blacking out, and any sound (IE music, the TV) slows down to almost a crawl and sounds like its under a metallic-repeating DJ mixer set.
The ordeal last probaly 10-15 seconds, when its over the vision comes back gradually and the sound very quickly goes to normal.
I don't know if this means anything or not, but the couple of times it's happened when I'm driving I can focus enough before it gets too bad to memorize traffic and any imeadiate turns i need to look out for. (so I can avoid making matters worse by swerving in the road, heh). My limbs tend to... float a little bit from where I try to keep them still, which my friend told me the one time he was with me in the car when this happened.
I used to smoke (quit a few months ago), and I try to eat the right nutrients, 6'2 at 160lbs(max weight 180, age 21), I have tried taking my pulse with my fingers while these extream head rushes happen but I cant really feel it during. Afterwards everything seems normal + my pulse is normal. No previous record of high blood pressure.
Thanks in advance for any responses, do let me know if you need anymore information
