Anyone here ever feel like they will pass out or have passed out? Every time I stand, I feel this way. What with lyme would be causing this? I'm so sick of it.

Have you checked for low blood pressure? Perhaps blood sugar issues?

I can't say I've ever passed out, but that doesn't mean anything either. My hubby has passed out several times... it's thankfully been low blood pressure or dehydration issues...

No I don't have low blood pressure and I have had my sugar tested at the hospital when I feel like this and it's always normal.

I drink tons of water and power ade. I think it's probably related to POTS

Yes and yes. Check blood pressure and pulse when sitting for several minutes. Then check at 1 2 5 and 10 minutes. You are checking for POtS. Google search it
It seems to be very common with Lyme people. I am suspecting I have it as I have passed out several times.

OK to all that sorry should have read more. If pressure and pulse are normal ...You don't have pots

A month ago mine were fine, now they are fluctuating wildly

But that sure sounds like pots!!!! OK I'm shutting up lol...The crazy dizzy stuff does....

Every time I stand my heart rate goes way up which is pots. I get a tilt table test in 10 days. I have to take beta blockers just to control my heart rate. Have you figured out why you passed out?

No I'm suspecting pots on my own research. My pulse goes from 65 to 110 after standing 10 minutes. Wore a heart holster/monitor a recently and nothing at that point was abnornal

I'm currently wearing a 30 day Holter monitor

I have POTS. When I stand up from sitting, my heart rate goes to 100 bpm immediately.

Mine is from the infections. I'm thinking it's from Bartonella...as I know I still have bart after a year of treatment...recently tested positive in October.

Mine is slightly better. I used to stand up and also feel my head pounding...and my heart rate go up.

I don't think my bp goes down though...I can't remember ...if it did, it wasn't significant.
