notes on this so i have the info later if i need it:
the fainting happened about two minutes after i stood up and started walking around
i did not stand up particularly suddenly
i had taken prazosin (prescribed for sleep for me) which is known to be hypotensive, about 7 hours before, so there may have been a bit left in my system but probably not enough to cause this kind of effect and i have not had this issue with prazosin previously, despite taking it for years
i had eaten and had various beverages including lots of salt and water the day before, up to the point i actually fell asleep (bedtime snack + water)
i was not dehydrated according to physical tells (wrinkled fingertips, dry mouth)
i had not taken any new meds or vitamins or any different quantities of meds or vitamins
there was no warning of imminent syncope beyond my usual "feeling woozy because i am standing up" which happens every single day, all day long
i was wearing compression leggings (went to sleep in them)
i don't feel sick at all, no apparent infections or afflictions
so idk. the suddenness of this happening is concerning because it was a fully knockout onto the ground style syncope episode, ie, the type of thing you can die from if you hit your head. also concerning is the lack of apparent cause. if anything, i was better fed and hydrated yesterday leading up to the episode than i have been at many other times when it was more likely to occur.
one likelihood is that the dysautonomic issue, whatever it is, is just getting worse, which they tend to do. but if im going to start fainting randomly that is really, really bad.
my landlord knocked on my door this morning and I'm not sure why because I've been eating fine and not abnormally dehydrated but I FULLY fainted onto the floor when I stood up to go to the door. like the complete cartoon "guh? what happen?" waking up on the ground style fainting. it was so odd, I've only had that happen a couple times before. i just gave up and didn't answer the door, too much weird shit was happening at the same time and I picked a priority. I wasn't hurt or anything it was just super weird. really hope that's not a cool new trick my body will keep demonstrating in future
