Hi Christine, I have had some bouts of light-headed-ness over the past month or so. The first time it happened I was walking into Target, got dizzy, was looking for a cart to hold onto or somewhere to sit and then my knees buckled and down onto the floor I went. Luckily I did not hurt myself. I told my doctor, whom I saw about 2 days later and he said it was probably a combo of side effects of the various drugs I'm taking, probably specifically Lasix, so told me to cut it down from every day to 3 times a week. A week later the same thing happened, but this time it was while entering my house. Unfortunately this time I broke my leg in the process. I am now in a "boot" for the next 4 weeks. I still am getting light headed occasionally, but I take getting up and moving around much more slowly now and am hoping for no more accidents!
I hope they figure out what's going on with your husband and that he is ok. Fingers crossed!!!
