Very often people with serious concussions and brain injuries, including strokes, don’t even realize it at the time. They just want to lie down and take a nap.

The original assessment sounds plausible. I have blood pressure on the low side, and sometimes when I get up at night, I have to do it slowly or I get dizzy. I’ve had a few episodes where I’ve fallen — one fairly recently where I cracked my mouth and head. That night I had imbibed a little too much bourbon and had taken a Benadryl before bed. I went straight back to bed after I regained consciousness and looking back on it, I probably shouldn’t have. It scared the crap out of my wife.

Sounds like Saget may have had an episode similar to that.

You’re a lucky man! I have high blood pressure which can be very unstable so I’ve had blood pressure drops too. Not fun.
