The passing out and near-passing-out episodes are another mystery. That is now the worry.

I am not convinced at all that all is well; I think something is definitely askew but it's certainly a head-scratcher and I won't bore you with any more details. But if I had to guess, I think something else will show up again. I just hope it is not brain-related. I'm dumb enough as it is.

They do not know if it was meds conflict or not. In fact, they put me back on what I was on before!

Thanks again!

Have they exporled the possibility that you have having problems with something called "Syncopy" (Syncope)not sure of the spelling. ( it has nothing to do with syncopation in music ). A couple of years ago my mother experienced similar symptoms passing out for no reason. Turns out it was what they called syncopy. I don't remember all the details, But, from what I remember is there is a sudden rise in blood pressure while the heart rate drops when this happens the person passes out briefly. There is a test avaliable in some hosptials called the "tilt table test" This test simulates the sudden rise in blood pressure and drop in heart rate. You may want to mention this to your doctor. Good luck.
