My mother is suffering from a problem that
no doctor has been able to diagnose. She
has bad dizzy spells when she gets up from
a seated position. She has even passed
out a few times. She has had almost every
test known and nothing has shown up. Her
blood pressure will go up when this
happens but then go back to normal. She
has been to heart doctors, internal
doctors, Neurologists and none of them can
find the problem. If she stays on her
feet she does not have these spells.
Please if anyone can help it would be
greatly appreciated.

sounds like she has either a serious case
of hypertension or cerculatory problems.
Her cardiologist says she hasnt got a
problem?
I'd get a second opinion.

Sounds like postural hypotension, her
blood pressure is low while she is sitting
and can't rise quick enough for when she
gets up. Get another doctor, this is a
common condition and any doctor worth his
salt can diagnose it, I did.

I have something similar.
Often, when I bend down to pick something
off the floor I get lightheaded and dizzy
and have to steady myself because I feel
like I might faint.
I think my b/p is normal.
