I guess My rambling was confusing so please let me clarify

1. My first episode was after Dry Heaving hard and pushing down like you would bare down try to throw up.I felt fine hours later and nothing sense, I have ran miles and miles
2. The throwing up was caused by Me being triggered with CELiac Disease.
3. My second episode of Almost passing out and lower blood preasure was after Puling muscles, which caused sever sever pain. I was dehydrated,
I am 33 and 175 pounds, 5"9 good shape, I can run up and down stairs, Do Push ups, 100 at a time, feel good most the time even with the CD.
4. Why when Something strenous or painful like the dry heaving which by the way was over 6 months ago, and then this time tearing my muscle and coniuing t work out what are the causes,

Why the Drop in blood preasure, what should really be checked, I know my doc, he will say how you feel today, You had this happen 6 months ago, and again last week? how you feel now, HUM well I wouldnt worry about it and he will do some blood, Which I already had at the ER,

Hypotension, or drop in blood pressure, can be caused by a variety of diseases.  Sometimes autonomic insufficiency can be a problem - this is associated with a variety of diseases that impairs the body's ability to regulate the blood pressure when it drops.

Diabetes, neuropathies and Parkinson's disease can be associated with this.  These diseases can be discussed with your personal physician, or in conjunction with a neurologist.

If the hypotension continues, medications that I mentioned in the previous post, such as Florinef and Midodrine may be helpful.  

Evaluating the heart with a stress echo, as well as evaluating the carotid arteries can be done as well.  

Followup with your personal physician is essential.
