ok i read that on the net, but the thing with my mom is that she does not get light-headed/dizzy or faint. She did not even faint during the tilt table test. Her problem is her blood pressure going so low (50/17) at the time of the test. That is why I don't understand how the can give her that diagnosis. She did not faint or get faint, yet she had tremendous chest pain/heaviness. I think they may be looking for a quick solution. They want to give beta-blockers, but she tried Lopressor before and it made her sick. Besides why would you give someone with HYPOTENSION a drug for hypertension? I sometimes think common sense works better than an MD?
