Please could any of you very knowledgeable folks tell me if "faints" not blackouts or epilepsy are a symptom of AZ.
David started having faints, while driving unfortunately though no one was ever hurt thank God, in 1996. He was diagnosed with AZ in 2002 officially after many years of no-diagnosis. He continues to have these "faints" and our GP has said it is because his blood pressure drops very low.
It is something which has bothered me for years and has not gone away. We have even been in shops and quite happily shopping and then the next thing he is on the floor. At the beginning it has been known for him to "faint" several times a day resulting in him having to be taken to hospital, but nothing could be found and hence discharged back home.
I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has experienced these symptoms.
Thanks in anticipation.
Katie
