Suggest Treatment For Headache , Low Blood Pressure And Tingling Sensation In The Wrist
Hello Dr. Rynne, I am concerned about my husband. He is 35 years old. He just all of a sudden passed out for probably a second and then got up, laid on the bed, asked for ice packs in his arm pits as he began sweating and laid there, some words were slurred. His blood pressure and pulse dropped. He has a slight headache and tingling in his left wrist area. He refuses to go to the hospital. He wants to sleep. Is it safe to wait until this week to see a doctor?
Hi the symptoms could be because of orthodtatic hypotension
Orthostatic hypotension is defined as a decrease in systolic blood pressure of 20 mm Hg or a decrease in diastolic blood pressure of 10 mm Hg within three minutes of standing when compared with blood pressure from the sitting or supine position.
so The most common symptom of orthostatic hypotension is feeling lightheaded or dizzy when you stand up after sitting or lying down. This feeling, and other symptoms, usually happens shortly after standing up and generally for few seconds
