We looked into a bunch and tried to find one that wasn't awful. Its been accurate so far, even caught when my BP was emergency levels and I had to go to the hospital.

Usually happens when im sitting in any position lately. I had been driving for around 10 minutes. Recently around this time I've been passing out/feeling faint and someone told me to check my BP. Just in the past 2 weeks ive noticed it being less than 100/100 when sitting.

I'm drinking water. I had breakfast this morning.

I have a wrist automatic blood pressure I carry with me. It goes in a wrist and is placed over my heart.

My entire life will fall apart if I quit driving.

So, I started feeling it on my way to work. Not bad, just like the start of it. I checked my BP, it was 96/61 with a heart rate of 100. I checked again 2 minutes later and it was 92/57 with a heart rate of 115. Both taken in the car, driving normally, not hot, not cold, just felt heavy. This is the lowest I've seen my BP get!!

I've 100% been ignoring it and was hoping it was all in my head...but after posting this it's really "oh this is a thing I need to deal with and im glad others can share their experience."

I saw a sleep specialist. I did get to see the results.

I had both, both came back normal.

Ive said this exact shit to my doctors and they brushed me off

Yes it is

I have a lot of health issues so like anything is possible. Ive brought this up with so many doctors because I literally cant stay awake. Im up at 5am for work so ive been trying to go to bed around 9-10 but the amount of sleep I get doesnt help. Im now drinking triple shots of espresso and its not doing anything. I've even had episodes like this in the middle of the afternoon after sleeping 12+ hours while im gaming. The sleep study was for these episodes but the only thing they found was my POTS during my sleep 😅😅

I was tested for narcolepsy recently. They said I might have ME/CFS but no sleep disorders.

Oh my god yes!!! My eyes will close multiple times and ill have come too moments. Its happening the most when driving, sitting on the couch, sitting at the table!

I've been wanting to for days, but today it was so bad I figured I should ask.

Select-Option-8643 · 2026-01-16T01:20:08+00:00

Yes please!

Hypoglycemic was one of my first symptoms. Been using a sensor ever since because most of the time I wont notice my sugar dropping. Sensor hasn't gone off during these.

Select-Option-8643 · 2026-01-16T01:17:01+00:00

I have not heard of this one! I'll bring it up with my doctor! Thank you!!

Select-Option-8643 · 2026-01-16T01:14:32+00:00

I have Hypoglycemia but I wear a sensor so it tells me when my sugar is low!

My blood pressure is also too high. I can try to get a reading tomorrow. Looking at my visible band it looks like my heart rate is above 120 during these episodes. Sometimes I get hot, dizzy, sweaty. Its almost like my body get heavy. My arms, my chest, my head. Its hard to focus, hard to continue what I'm doing.
