Thank you, John, for your response. I do plan to see my doctor again--will call tomorrow--but I fear nothing will come of it. That's why I'm writing to see if anyone else has the same symptoms. I haven't heard of orthostatic hypotension, but I'm assuming you have medication for that? I do think this might have something to do with blood pressure in which case, I'm guessing they can prescribe something. Thanks again for writing.
