redhead mom, call me the fainting queen. I used to pass out pretty frequently.For me, it was my blood pressure. If you're still on meds for hypertension, and you've lost weight, definitely get your dosage adjusted. Who knows, maybe you'll be able to discontinue them. Whenever I start feeling weird and get ringing in my ears, I drop me head. Otherwise, I'll be down for the count.

Blood pressure medication sounds like a likely culprit!

Probably Orthostatic hypotension

Went to the emergency got this and they told me it was due to low blood pressure when getting up. I guess some people's BP fluctuates. Just get up slower

I have the same problem. I came off my blood pressure meds right after surgery with no problems. Now I am 8 months out and I am stable with 110 lbs weight loss. I have problems with dizziness when I get up, and I have fainted and fallen twice.

I am being very careful when I get up now. I am being real careful about getting my fluids, and I am exercising more to see if that helps. There seems to be very few treatment options.
