Hi there. You are a hypertensive on treatment and on treatment for deep vein thrombosis. Your physician needs to review your blood pressure control and rule out hypotension. Rule out dehydration, anemia, hypotension postural, hypertension, hypoglycemia, cardiomyopathies, intracranial bleeding or tumor, migraines etc. Consult a physician for further evaluation if you have similar presentation again. Relevant blood tests for diabetes, electrolyte abnormalities, etc and cardiac evaluation including holter, echo, ecg, and MRI brain would be required to help in diagnosis. Take care.
I am on Coumadin for blood thinning, also Diovan, Lasix, for ^bp. I have had 2 bad episodes of blood clots..both times in my lungs.. but these symptoms are so different. I do in home oxygen therapy 24/7 but am breaking away from it, since starting my weight loss program.
