First, how old is your wife?  Second is she on any medications or has she had any surgery in the past 5 years?  If yes, elaborate.\n\nHow long has this been going on?  What is its frequency (e.g., several times day?, once a day?, once a year?).\n\nBefore, during or after the time when she has these fainting episodes, does she feel anything else happening with her body--be it pain, vision changes, headaches, or whatever?\n\nHas she seen a physician yet?\n\nLet's start with this.  Respond on this board or send me a message.

If all of these symptoms occur at the same time, your wife may be in dire trouble. Comfort her a short time and if the symptoms do not pass, take her to emergency. \n\nEven if the symptoms come and go, she needs to be seen by a medical professional about this condition.\n\nTo treat dizziness, have her lie down with her legs above her heart. This returns more blood to the head. Treat her upset stomach with antacids. Her blood pressure may need to be controlled with medication.\n\nThings she may be advised to eat are the opposite of all the things a person with hypertension is supposed to avoid, generally things with salt-sodium. Pretzels, pickles, soy sauce, additional salt on food, Salt tablets. She may be advised to avoid fruits, vegetables and lean protein.\n\nGatorade does contain sodium, but it won't treat her upset stomach or dizziness symptom.

This is referred to as rthostatic hypotension.  It  is a sudden fall in blood pressure that occurs when a person assumes a standing position. It may be caused by hypovolemia (a decreased amount of blood in the body), resulting from the excessive use of diuretics, vasodilators, or other types of drugs, dehydration, or prolonged bed rest. The disorder may be associated with Addison's disease, atherosclerosis (build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries), diabetes, and certain neurological disorders including Shy-Drager syndrome and other dysautonomias. Symptoms, which generally occur after sudden standing, include dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision, and syncope (temporary loss of consciousness). When orthostatic hypotension is caused by hypovolemia due to medications, the disorder may be reversed by adjusting the dosage or by discontinuing the medication. When the condition is caused by prolonged bed rest, improvement may occur by sitting up with increasing frequency each day. In some cases, physical counterpressure such as elastic hose or whole-body inflatable suits may be required. Dehydration is treated with salt and fluids. Please see your doctor for an exam and treatment.

See an M.D.  \nShe probably needs a catheter.  Her body may be shutting down at the age of 90.

I am not sure I understand, but from what you describe I am guessing your friend is becoming dizzy when standing up after being flat on his/her back or straining. It's not a disease.  It just means they are causing a rapid change in their blood pressure.

Luckily the aplastic crisis is transient.  That means the blood count problem will be temporary.  Sometimes this happens because of an infection or from a drug.  You can hang out with her as long as her doctor says her white blood count is normal.  Have fun but let her rest a lot and don't let her get stressed out.  Good luck.

A low blood count is Anemia\n\nLow circulating volume is Dehydration.\n\nI have never come accross the description you have posted though.  Questions to ask the doctor would include what is the cause of the problem and ask him or her to just give your mother-in-law a better, more understandable explanation - that is his or her duty.  Best wishes

My mom needs to lower her blood pressure, and she is limiting salt as well as eating more fiber. . .oatmeal, cheerios.  Drink a lot of water, too, that is soooo important.

Those are not the typical symptoms, but you cannot rule it out from that either. The best way to know is to go to the doctor and have her perform some simple blood tests for you.

i would take her back to the doctor, when ;you say we, do you mean the doctor? if not, then dont rule out anything, heart attack symptoms vary.   she could also be low on iron, or  any number of things, i wouldnt wait.

it depends on the situation.  if someone has a slow GI bleed, they can be asymptomatic and have hemoglobins as low as 5 or 6.  However if someone is acutely bleeding, a drop from 14 to 10 may cause dizziness and hypotension.  The biggest factor is if their heart rate is elevated, their blood pressure drops and they feel weak and/or dizzy.

I am not a nurse or doctor,however,I have been diabetic (type 1) for 36 years. A normal blood sugar reading is between 80 and 120, At 190 sugar spills into your urine. That's when you become thirsty, beyond belief, and start to dehydrate. You will know every washroom in the city because of constant urination. I have been hospilized w/ a reading of about 1200. That was with taking insulin. I had dental work done, and the infection got the best of me. Your reading shows you that your sugar is high, but it is the way the sugar affects your organs that can be fatal. When I had my episode, my potassium levels were screaming high,my kidneys had shut down,I lost the vision in one eye from such a low blood pressure. I was in a coma for a day before anyone found me. I remained so for an additional five days. During that time I suffered a heart attack. Diabetes can be hard to control, even with insulin. Sometimes it becomes more complicated because of the insulin. If you can manage it without..DO IT! Get on a diet recommended by a dietition, get yourself a glucometer to check your sugar at home frequently. Exercise. Show your family the way to deal with it should they eventually have it. Your circulation is compromised, affecting your legs and feet, eyes, and kidneys, skin. High sugar means you will have a harder time fighting infections. Your teeth and gums will need extra care-and you are the only one that can do it. Don't become blind or on dialysis because you can't pass up a candy bar or a chunk of cake. your family needs you, and when you look at their smiling faces, you'll be grateful to be with them. I know I am telling you scary things. I wish someone had really explained to me HOW these things could come to pass. It's because it affects the smallest,tiniest blood vessels in your body. You don't always "just die" from diabetes. You could live a long time with what it can do to you. Good luck to you. I would be so proud of you if you could turn this thing around to become incredibley healthy. This would be the time to do that. If you see that your sugar is rising,for no apparent reason, such as large meal,eating fruit,etc.,call your doctor. It may be from a sinus infection, earache,cut that won't heal. The infection raises your sugar, your sugar makes it difficult to get rid of the infection. And so it goes..round and round. Don't wait for a huge spike in your numbers.

I'm sorry she's afraid, but uncontrolled blood sugars can become serious.\n\nThe generally accepted norm range for blood sugar in all people text book wise is 70-110, or 80-120.\n\nShe really needs to ask her DOCTOR though what number range is ok with him, for HER. \n\nNot taking care of your blood sugar can have serious consequences.\n\n"How bad is a blood sugar level of 470?"\n\nEXTREMLEY DANGEROUS.

it depends on where her diabetes is. If it is a mild case of type 2, then nothing more than a modest rise in blood glucose levels might be in the cards. If she's a type 1 and stops taking insulin, she will die and may go into diabetic ketoacidsosis befoe she does. \n\nIn the longer term, her chances of an acute problem increase a good bit. High blood glucose levels can produce diabetic coma, shaky behavior and changed attitude, etc. And she'll increase her chances of getting some or several o fthe diabetic side effects (amputation from poor circulation and unhealing ulcers, kidney failure, blindness, heart attack, stroke, nerve damage, ...). these ususally take a while to develop, but the first warning might be an infection of a foot ulcer which gets to the bone and forces an amputation. Not something to take a gamble on. \n\nAs for the smoking and drinking... Smoking affects wuite a few body systmes unfavorable. Some of these are the same one's that diabetes attacks. For instance, circulation. It's often said to be the single most damaging thing a diabeteic can tdo to make chances of a bad diabetic outcome better. Drinking, on the other hand, is more complex. Alsohol itself can change blood glucose levels, and if it does in her, she will have more difficulty managing her glucose levels. \n\nOn the other hand, it is now clear that small amounts of alcohol (one beer a day, or the equivalent in wine, or spirits) is beneficial in that it reduces chances of heart attack. Amounts even a little more than that are, on balance, damaging. More damaging than beneficial without much doubt. So it depends on how (and how much, and when) she drinks.  \n\nShe should consult her doctor about these possibilties, and help to find out why she's neglecting her medication, and change it as necessary (or possible) to make it more likely that she'll actual take her meds properly in future.

could be Hypoglycemia...I had that problem as a kid...I passed out a few times and as a result was tested for both diabetes and hypoglycemia...aka "low blood sugar". I have found that if I eat some candy, drink juice or eat/drink something with sugar in it, the dizziness goes away within minutes and I can go on with my life.
