Fainted, but didn't lose consciousness?

I had an episode that after several days of tests turned out what I thought it was, the blood pressure pill, even though dr. and I had got it down to very low dosage.
I get it you don't take those pills, but blood pressure goes on despite that, whatever age. Too low can be trouble.

Just standing a long time can do it to some people, thus the dreaded tilt test.
I took that test, not fun, and blacked out around 50+ minutes. They shut off that pill. But I also remember fainting in line at the administration building of my university, years before - must have been in line something like an hour and a half. I was about eight from the window when I fell.

Plus you add enclosed heat and hot water battering.

Why are you doing that?

A symptom of dehydration and heatstroke is seizures, go figger.

How do you know it's only one person? In case you didn't notice, this thread isn't a "game".

Well I've made several suggestions to help Naomi with her fainting problem so I can only assume somebody is voting down my posts because they don't want me to help her. What kind of evil-minded atheists are they?
"We wanted to come to you but Satan stopped us" (Bible: 1 Thess 2:18 )

Hey Naomi, the body is a complex chemical factory, and extreme heat can make it and its assorted glands go haywire, for example by possibly triggering a low blood sugar diabetic-type faint if the chemicals get out of balance.

Voting down can take place for a variety of reasons, some less honourable than others, I daresay. Simple disagreement, dislike of the poster and the desire to make mischief are some that I can think of. Possibly some of the people who voted down your posts here felt (as I do) that you only addressed the question of what might have caused her fainting fit, and did so in a reassuring way that might encourage her to keep quiet about it, and ignored the question she asked, namely should she tell her mother. A signed-in member can only apply one up or down vote to a post, so if you ever see an up or down score of more than 3 against one of your posts, or your score fluctuates, you can be sure that more than one person has been involved

This forum would be much the better if all ratings and "voting up" or "voting down" were done away with completely.

Anyone paying any attention to that crap deserves to be "voted down" because it is absolute nonsense.

The best way you can help this forum is by pledging never to vote anything up or down...nor to pay any attention to any voting done on your threads or posts.

Yes, the voting system serves no useful purpose except to mess up the forum and should be got rid of.
Anyway, voting down a post backfires on the voter because it means the poster has upset them by making them throw a tantrum like a spoilt brat.. Smile

So if somebody votes me down, I think ha ha I've succeeded in upsetting somebody.. Smile

@Frank Apisa,

Yes, there are several individuals marking the posts down. I know of at least 2 ( two), who make it a point to mark me down. They seem to be following me around. It's silly, isn't it?

I once posted a short poem by Robert Burns on A2K and it was marked down.

( I'll bet old Bobbie didn't care!)

Yes we can easily spot their pattern and realise who they are, for example one is a sour-minded atheist feminist lesbian.. Smile

I can then write about them in the religious threads to let the world know about the sick atheist mentality, so I win again.. Smile

I think its fine the way it is.
It does not require adjustments beyond the mandatory use of fonetic spelling
and that all posters be armed with revolvers of not less than .44 caliber, while typing.
