I posted a message yesterday about how I fell four times while on my way to the bathroom last night.
Well it's now 12:39 am and...no dizziness at at all.
Very strange indeed!
Anyone care to venture an explanation? I know that Parnate (and MAOI's) cause hypertension if you eat something that's on the prohibited list. I don't think that I did, but could have. Could that have been it?
What I'd like to know is whether high blood pressure (hypertension) has some of the same same symptoms as low BP? (dizziness, loss of balance). B/C I'm thinking that perhaps I ate something I wasn't supposed to, didn't realize it, and as a result got dizzy during the night and as a result fell flat on my *ss four times).
(Now losing your balance and falling is never very funny, but I'd expect that if anyone were around when it happened, they might have been on the floor laughing their *ss off.) It WAS pretty funny to watch.
Anyway, back to my question, are the symptoms of hypertension (again, loss of balance, dizziness, etc) the same as hypotension? B/C that's the only exlanation that would make sense (Although I didn't experience any of the other signs of hypertension (chest pain, shortness of breath, headache, etc).
