Falls with possible MS
I think I have MS
I have had a good few falls - what happens is,
Once I got out of my car at my sons school, my heel of my runner went into the pot hole
I held onto the handle of my car door, next I felt all power leave from my neck and hands
Like the blood draining
Next I collapsed, like I fainted
Was unconscious for a few moments
Then I woken up, I was in shock
Got myself up off the ground and sat back into my car to recover fully.
Next time I fell, was outside my back door, I bent down to pick up a ball for my golden retriever dog
When I straightened up, I felt all the power drain from my neck chest and hands, I was holding on to the wall, but I became lifeless and fell to the ground
My son came to help me up
I bruised a lot of my ribs, I had to stay off work for 2 weeks to recover from my injuries
Gracious, that sounds terrible. I wonder if it is significant that each time you went from low to standing. I know there are some other conditions that can cause a fainting, drop in blood pressure, or similar sudden reaction upon standing. So, consider, it may not be MS. Either way, I would consult with a neurologist. Also, don’t delay because the sooner you know what it is the sooner you can treat it.
I get this too and it's not to do with my blood pressure, hopefully you can also get some answers!!
