Hey guys. I am getting scared over these "spells" that hubby has been having. He has been having dizzy spells. Happens mostly when he bends over and when he lays down flat. With the lightest ones, he just gets dizzy and the room spins and he has to hold onto something and/or close his eyes. With the worst ones, he blacks out and can't see or hear and with the very worst one the other day at work. He was bending over to pick up a piece of banding off the ground in front of the office. He got dizzy and blacked out, couldn't see or hear and when he came to himself, he was sitting on the bench in front of the office and his head was bobbing like one of them bobble heads. That sounds like a seizure to me.
That happened a few days ago and he just now tells me about it last night. We took him to the doctor for the dizziness a week or so ago and she said he had post-nasal drip and a cold. I knew he didn't have to cold when she said that!!
He doesn't have any insurance. I may take him to the Er this evening and tell them it just happened today and let them do a CT scan of his head. Worries me that he might have a damn brain tumor or something like that. Pray for him or keep him in your thoughts or send some good vibes this way please.
Thanks heaps,
Chelle

Hang in there sweets.
There are things like Cataplexy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cataplexy ) But try not to worry too much until they figure something out.. It could very well be something very mild or super easy to treat. :big hugs love:
Chanel.............He takes a pill for hypertension twice a day. It has been running real good. He checks it at home frequently.
Harriet, yep, that poor dumb kid. Urg, ok by those other dumb kids posting a video of him with another guy, yes that would have made his life tough for a while. But it would have blown over. Suicide doesn't blow over.

I only ask because I have that problem.. I take a beta blocker (bystolic) though not for blood pressure, for tachycardia and sometimes my tachycardia goes back to normal out of the blue, so the beta blocker switches to lowering my blood pressure instead and it goes too low all of a sudden (it is freaky really..) I have to check my BP/heartrate every day because of this and adjust my medication. Luckily my BP has never gone so low I have blacked out though.
