Hello eveyone,how is everyone doing? I am okies I guess.I do have a few questions to ask you guys,hope to get some info or see if others experience the same things as me.In January of this year I had fainted in my living room,before I did I remembered taking a drink from my can of soda,(it was a Coke)trhen I felt light headed,sick to my stomach and I began to see little white dots everywhere,after that I was out for like 20 secs or so my boyfriend told me.I woke up really scared and I went to the hospital,they told me it was from low blood pressure.My blood pressure is around 100/60 most of the time or like 110/70. About a few weeks ago I was watching Meet The Fockers and a funny part came on and I was laughing soooooo hard that I felt dizzy and started to see the white dots again but was able to calm myself down that time, can anyone tell me if they ever had that happen to them and do you have have low blood pressure? Thanks

Shahera...Most in this country (usa) have high blood pressure..that being said we know that sodium (salt) raises blood pressure so increase that on a daily bases and see what happens......

i have low blood pressure. The symptoms you describe are how i feel when i have an attack. The doc told me AS SOON as you feel blah, get to the floor. It does not matter where youare because he said you will get there one way or another. I would see the doc and they will monitor it for you and if it happens alot they will do something like put you on meds. My hubby has HBP and i am low

Thanks for the replies guys, and the info.I have'nt had an attack in a while but I should still go and get it checked out.I have a blood pressure taking thing at home,but not sure it is reliable.
