Getting Lightheaded When Laying Down. Cardio Test, MRI, Heart Enzymes Were Normal,ferritin Is Around 1000. Any Suggestion?

Hello,

I'm getting very lightheaded while sitting at work, it seems to diminish while standing and can be almost as strong while laying down. Today I went to the ER because it got too strong and I didn't want to push the symptoms any further than I have been, since the first 95% fainting happened in June this year. Cardio tests and MRI did not show anything, heart enzymes OK, but my ferritin is high around 1,000. Any suggestions to toss out at my PCP?

Thanks, Steve

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I can understand your problem and it seems to me, that it could be a orthostatic hypotension and the reason of this could be hypoglycemia, imbalance electrolyte, hypovitaminosis, functional elements, these all are to be taken under consideration If I would be your doctor then I would advise you to change the life style and diet habit too keep the stress level low have good sleep of at least 7 hours, I think this will go away if you can practice such thing to change the life style have good day.
