JUST TESTED POSITIVE FOR THIS. tHEY PRESCRIBED 25MG OF ATENOLOL(BETA BLOCKER) MY SYMPTOMS WERE THAT I WOULD HAVE A RUSH STARTING AT MY FEET AND COMING UP THE BODY WITH A SLIGHTLY SICKISH FEELING IN MY STOMACH AND A STRONG FAINT FEELING. I REALLY FELT I WAS GOING TO PASS OUT. I SAT DOWN AND AFTER ABOUT 15 TO 20 MIN. THE FEELING PASSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE. BOTH TIME DURING HOT WEATHER AND ABOUT A YEAR APART. IT;S VERY SCARY BECAUSE YOU HAVE SOMETIME TO FEEL IT HEADING TOWARDS YOUR HEAD AND CAN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT. THE NURSE TOLD ME TO USE MORE SALT AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER. I VERY SELDOM USE SALT MOST OF MY LIFE BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD LEAD TO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE. MY PRESSURE IS EXCELLENT.MY CHOLESTEROL RUNS HIGH. I TAKE LIPITOR(20 MG) I AM ABOUT 222 LAST CHECK. I HAVE BEEN AS HIGH AS 330. I'LL RESPOND TO ANYONE WHO IS WILLING TO DISCUSS VASOVAGEL. THX
