I have dysautonaumia_pots but not to the point of passing out
Salt and fluids help me,stay off your feet for long periods,avoid heat and hot baths.
Compression socks and pants help me a little.
Tilt table test gave the medical diagnosis.
Constipation definitely make dysautonomia worse,probably due to an increase in histamine which lowers blood pressure.
A cooling ice vest was a lifesaver for me to go out in the yard this summer.
Bowel movements can trigger this.
Tried the prescription meds but salt and water works the best for me.
Dysautonomia is a common pattern with lye disease patients.
Caffeiene helps some and hurts others,it helps me

Have you been dx'ed for dysautonomia? If it is that, then taking a salt supplement like Thermatabs may help.
I have dysautnomia but have never passed out.
You may want to get evaluated for seizures. What you describe - passing out and falling like a board - is exactly what can happen when you have a drop seizure.

I just began to see a pattern of what made me sick,heat,hot baths,standing,bending up and down,raising my arms,eating big meals,bowel movements.
I believe it from atbx destroying the git flora.
I say this because I keep track of my BP and bowel movements and have seen a definite pattern that when I am not going to the bathroom enough that my BP is always lower.
When I am pretty regular my BP rides ten points higher and I can tolerate heat and bending and standing more.
ATBX,as much as needed are causing all kinds of problems for people on here,gut flora is huge.
Easy to destroy flora but tough to correct.
Salt tablets were tough on my stomach,table salt is much easier for me.
Docs may offer you florinef(no good for overgrowth) or midrodrine to increase your BP.
I tried briefly but everything has a side effect,Im sticking with salt and water.
The gut flora is the key.

Hi shoeless joe, I have absolutely no warning & nothing is diff. from what the day before was.
Heat or what H2O, constipation, BP., allsame as previous days. Have never been truly treated correctly for my Lyme. Many Yrs. ago had short time with pic line. That is all.
I use my meds the same & supplements, no real pattern to this is diff.
BP just drops like a rock all of sudden can be even higher than my norm then just drops I gather. This came & comes out no where. Why it is tad scary.
So have no idea what can even do diff. being no real warning except might have quick funny feeling, not dizzy.
I been told go down so hard that if I would not been holding onto a pole that she said "we would not be talking at that time" days week after passed out.
Happens about once a month. Except had 1 X a entire day felt this way as long as I kept laying down on floor or where ever (I was at luckily at home), if did not stand only very close to passing out.
My stomach is always plagued with nausea. Take pills for so not sure if could take salt tablets. Been trying to eat saltier foods now since never big on adding salt.
Always drink lots of water.
How is your Lyme?
I recently been dxed with late stage chronic neuro Lyme. Last 9 months increase all types crazy neuro problems from electric shocks throughout bod., to vibrating all over, echo in ears, eye changes, burning all under skin ++++.
Never found a true Lyme doc. down here & told recently There is none who in Neurology are lye lit.
Hugggggssss to all in Need...

I've had Lyme for about 18 years now (first 9 misdx'd), I was dx'd Disautonomic even before I was dx'd w/ Lyme. So hear you!
Thermo tabs and lots of water. Are you detoxing properly? Get your canadida checked, too.
