My heart rate and blood pressure finally stabilized around mid September. 2 weeks ago my house was hit by lightning and a week ago I had trouble standing without almost blacking out then out of nowhere the orthostatic hypertension went right into a siezure from blood flow in the carotids not feeding the brain. The lightheadedness started around 2009 and keeps worsening. All from late effects of radiation.
