Suggest Treatment For To Prevent Loss Of Consciousnesses

My boyfriend age 62 has been passing out and this usually happens three times in a 20 minute period. He is sweating and non responsive during this time and has done it three times within a two year period. His blood pressure usually reads 84/50 at his tie and has gotten a little lower in other episodes. He has quit drinking but has not had his blood pressure meds adjusted. He refuses to go to hospital thinking he is just getting too hot?

Thanks for contacting HCM
I am deeply concerned about your boyfriend who is having episodes of passing out. This is a potentially very serious problem and has many aspects that need investigating. Heat stroke or exhaustion is possible but he needs more medical attention to truly find the reason for his passing out. I strongly urge that he seek medical attention. He may will need his blood pressure medications adjusted and his overall health evaluated including his heart.

Hope I answered your question. Please feel free to contact us again for you medical concerns and questions
