What Causes Fainting, Pain In Tail Bone And A Rash On Chin?

default
Posted on Wed, 16 Mar 2016
Question: What could cause me to faint? I am normally very healthy I see my doctor on a regular basis. I do have high blood pressure and borderline dialectic. I did have a few drinks and I took an ambien 12.5 . I've only faited once before 2 years ago after I had surgery. I made love to my boyfriend and got up only to pass out 2 times. He was with me this time but we hadn't done anything. I got up to go to the bathroom and passed out at least 4 times. I hurt my tail bone, got a gash in my chin and my neck hurts to do anything to the right

Brief Answer:
Take measures as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Postural loss of consciousness may be due to syncopal attack.
The management is to get blood pressure measurement by a physician for possibility of postural drop in blood pressure.
Anti hypertension medications may be decreased if blood pressure found to be lower. Take plenty of Fluids. Avoid standing suddenly from supine or sitting position. Make some movement of legs on bed and then gradually stand.
Other possibility may be seizures but it is usually associated with tonic posture, frothing, tongue bite, urinary incontinence and any predisposition.
Third less likely possibility may be due to drug related secondary to ambien 12.5 mg, get it reduced to half.
hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further queries.
