Vagle Passing Out Low Blood Preasure

Ok, First of all I would like to say hi to all coping with our special :) problem.

i need some help on this. For the Second time after working out, actually over exerting myself and pulling some muscles, I experienced great pain in my arms, and after about 30 minutes of this my body went weak, my arms cramped up and I started passing out. I made it to the ER and My blood pressure was low, 98 over 47 , I am a male that weighs 174 and 5,9" They immediatley treid to give me fluids, however while trying to find a vein they gave me a few good brusies and hematoma and finally got the needle in. Within minutes of the bag of fluids I was feeling better and cramping was ending.

the Doctor at the insta care said that he thinks I was dehydrated and that the stress and pulling of my muscles and pain caused a reaction to a nuero vagal , which in response to the pain caused this to happen, also he feels that with my diet I am not consuming enough calories with the diet. I think I drink enough water but maybe not??

I want to know if anyone has experienced this. I had it happen one other time when i was first triggered with the disease from Dry Heving and throwing up, and causing me to compress on my vagal, But all my life I have had many stressful events and didnt have to worry about this.

I do only eat and lots of Chicken, Steak, Baked potatoe and salads and lots of fruit. Since being on the diet in December of 2006 I feel much better and eat like a champ,, clean with lots of fruit, I mean Pineapple, Blueberries, Rasberries, and Blackberries ,, Daily. But other than that lots of Protein more than anything.

I am not taking vitamins, which i should i know that.

Has anyone experianced this.

David

I actually used to pass out all the time, and I have unbelievably low blood pressure. It sounds like you're not ABSORBING enough nutrients, you may be eating them, but oyu're not absorbing them. I think you need more fat in your diet, there are a great deal of vitamins that are only fat-soluble.

I would add organic full-fat cheese and yogurt, raw cheese if you can get it, and also stuff like avocados and raw olive oil and coconut oil. That's what made the difference for me.

      Lots of tests

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be be...

      Lymph nodes

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
