Guest guest Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I am trying to determine what is making me faint when I get out in the hot weather. I have always had trouble with the heat. It is not like the vertigo, but I start seeing black and get very dizzy. It goes away eventually. Motion makes it better if I get into cool place. I also get it when I stand up after sitting for awhile. I am currently desperately trying to lose weight in hopes that will help. It does not happen when exercising. I have a stent in my heart, but have had no major symptoms lately. I went home and ran up the stairs and checked blood pressure and sugar and they were fairly normal--the bp and pulse were quick from going up the stairs and the sugar was consistent with whatever I had eaten last--not low. I had something similar after some medical tests once and the doctor said it was a vaso-vagal reflex? Is there a way to make it better?
