MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS IS THAT I CAN FEEL IT COMING ON. I WILL FEEL LIGHT-HEADED OR DIZZY, GET REAL HOT, FEEL NAUSEAUS AND THEN PASS OUT, I WILL THEN GO TO SLEEP FOR 1-2 HOURS. I HAVE FOUND THAT IF I LAY DOWN RIGHT AWAY THEN I WILL NOT PASS OUT, I WILL JUST SLEEP. I WILL BE LIMP, VERY WEEK AND TIRED AT THE TIME OF THE SPELL. AFTER COMING OUT OF IT, I WILL BE FREEZING! DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE THESE SYMPTOMS? WHEN I TOOK THE TILT TEST, I PASSES OUT AT THE BEGINNING WHILE IN THE STANDING POSITION; BUT THEY SAID THAT THE TEST WAS NEGATIVE BECAUSE MY HEART RATE AND BLOOD PRESSURE NEVER DROPPED!
