Grandma went in today to have her blood pressure checked and **I Believe...I was not there, so not positive***that her heart rate was really high. They had her prepped at Nebraska Heart Institute for surgery but when the doc came in and did a few tests and listened to some things he decided that she has Neurocardiogenic Syncope. I have not done alot of the reading but it seems that this is where the brain and heart are not communicating clearly on when the blood is supposed to flow differently (when she stands up) and this is what's causing the dizziness.
The website to the article they got is www.hrtcare.com/neurosyn.asp Feel free to do some reading on it.
Right now they're changing her medications and think that they can get it straightened out this way.
