I did a table tilt test a while ago and it showed that I had neurally mediated hypotension (NMH). It was mild when the test was done a few years ago, but it’s getting worse and worse. Today I ran an errand and had to have the clerk escort me back to my car. I was about 5 minutes in the store but was ready to faint.
I currently have the flu so it is probably making things worse. Nonetheless, I am afraid if this continues I will not be able to go out of the house anymore. I live alone, so this would be a big problem for me.
What meds should I be looking into? What is the most popular one and is it possible to only take it on certain days, when I am really bad ?
I see my doctor in about 2 weeks and hopefully she can prescribe something. She is the very cautious type and refuses to prescribe anything « out-of-the-box ».
Any tip will be very much appreciated.
