It's been a rough Summer for me, radu - I've been in and out of hospital. My last hospitalization resulted in a diagnosis of a dangerous condition - orthostatic hypotension. When I would get up from a lying position to a sitting position, or from a sitting to standing position, I would have about 30 seconds of dizziness or feeling faint. I was on two medications that lowered my pulse and blood pressure to dangerous levels - that was the cause of it. They took me off those medications, a beta-blocker and my high blood pressure med, and the condition has gone away. I guess you could say it saved my life.

Oh my goodness! No wonder you’ve been AWOL. You had a legitimate excuse. YIKES!

I’m glad they figured out it was the meds causing the problems and took you off them. Whew!

Nice to have you back here with us again. *HUGZ*
