lightheadedness at times

I have afib but had an ablation in 2008 with Dr. Lin at Univ. of Pa. and since then have had 5 issues that I used the pill in the pocket with and it worked.
Right now i am ok however have a cold stuffed nose and throat sore. I take toprol er xl and flecainide 50mg in morning and 50mg in the evening, I seem ok most of the time however i am sitting down watching tv and when i get up i get some lightheaded feeling for seconds then it goes away. I also when playing golf get upper abdominal discomfort
Does anyone have answer for this for me or have had similar problems. Thanks Steve

Steve,

What is your blood pressure usually like? What is your build (height, weight)?

George

George i am 6'2 214 right now and blood pressure is usually around 124/75 heart rate is usually lower due to toprol in the high 50s

Ok, so unlikely low blood volume. Maybe something related to vasovagal syncope, but you are not passing out. I recall a doc who went by PC used to post about some autonomic sensors in the central nervous system that could do things like this (about 10-12 years ago).

thanks for the information George appreciate your thoughts.

Hi Steve... I'm short on time.. .but do a search on Adrenal Fatigue, postural hypotension and Orthostatic hypotension.
See if the descriptions correlate with what you are experiencing.

Low adrenal function produces those symptoms. I had adrenal burnout years ago and through adrenal support nutrients, it normalized.
