I have "seen" little silver floatie things, mostly in the perihpery of my vision. I looked around the internet after one frightening episode, as I was in the supermarket and suddenly I had a shower of silver floaties come raning down in my entire field of vision.

I read, but only anecdotally, that is has to do with blood pressure. I also read it has to do with sudden changes in blood pressure, and finally, I read that it has to do with low blood sugar episodes.

I tend to side with blood pressure, since I have always been prone to feel dizzy when I got up from bed or laying down. I think they call it orthostatic hypotension.

In your case, I wonder about your low blood pressure. Did they give you a reason for it?

In my case, I am iron deficient, but I am also hypothyroid and am on the low end of the blood pressure range, but not clinical. I think in my case it comes from the hypothyroidism.

I do know that anemia can be a cause of clinical low blood pressure (hypotension), but I wasn't sure if you were just "low" on iron or had actually been diagnosed with anemia.

Just keep an eye on it, or if it would make you feel better, you could buy a blood pressure cuff and keep a log to show your dr, like patients with high blood pressure do. :) I am sure I would have been freaking out, since I have never actually fainted, just had the pleasure of the stars and silver floaties.
