Passing out frequently, need advice

i keep passing out (fainting? (basically loosing consciousness)) i’m like weird episodes where i can’t stay conscious. but when i’m not in the middle of one i’m straight chillin. i’ve been to multiple doctors about it and no one can figure it out. the cardiologists don’t think it’s vascular anymore. anyone ever experience anything like this?

Hi abbz I’m really sorry to hear that you are suffering. Did your neurologist check for orthostatic hypotension? Do you have more signs of autonomic dysregulation?

Tomato

When you wake up after passing out, do you have any confusion, or you just go back to normal?

abbz

@OJ1980 i had an automatic functioning test recently, no results yet- but i will definitely ask now! and @Tomato i’m definitely out of it for a while, not very talkative, and i don’t have a great memory of the episodes 😬
