> Have you called your doctor? Are you on medication for your postural hypotension? If so, did you just start it or have you been on it for a while?
-----------I used to get hypotension on a sporadic basis when I was on imipramine, which is how I can relate to it. My doc did a few tests on me (tilt test, ECG, blood pressure upon standing, etc) when I told her about it, and didn't find anything unusual. It'd been a while (8 months?) since the last time I had it, and I'm not on imipramine now, tho I am on remeron and wellbutrin (about 3 weeks in on both).
It seemed to come on like a typical hypotensive dizziness (I had just stood up after 2 hours of sitting), but then just kept escalating, which did freak me out a bit. It lasted much longer than the typical dizziness does. Maybe it was a little of both?
