Orthostatic Hypotension: Are You Feeling Lightheaded?

[Guilmon470]

I was diagnosed with it. I was told I would grow out of it because I'm a 19 year old tall thin woman and the vessels in my head were not mature enough to handle the changes. It was basically being told I'm getting sick BECAUSE I'm healthy. I get much more violent though. I get the dizziness and slight blacking out but in my worst attacks my stomach gets ill like I need to vomit right away and I break out into a cold sweat. :(

@Guilmon470 you are not having orthostatic hypotension it is vasovagal syncope. Characteristic for thin, young women. Also with characteristic prodrome symptoms as diaphoresis, nausea, pallor. You will grow out of it in some time.
