Orthostatic Hypotension

So the other day I get up from my bed, stand for a second and realise that I am having another 'standing up too fast moments' but this is worse than usual. Every time I stand up I get the black vision, ringing/ buzzing ears, headaches and faintness right? (Though I only ever passed out once. Hit my head on a table *Pleasant*!) Well, next thing I know I wake up back on my bed on my side, same symptoms only I can't move and my leg is twitching. Okay, so now i'm freaked out, but I just ask for an appt. at our clinic. They refer us to an ER, god knows why, where they test my blood for a whole bunch of ****, an EKG, and everything checks out. Im completely normal.

That I can deal with, but the episodes are getting WORSE. Today I woke up again, sat up, then stood up slowly, and I wake up on the floor against my wall, my head feels like someone had wrapped a string around it, then started whirling it around. If I weren't wearing a towel to dry my hair off, I probably would have a nice bump on my head XD I have a bruise on my hip from when it hit the wall. I stood up, tried to type/ read something, and noticed that everything was harder. Like, I was making 10,000 typos and I couldn't really speak at first...

Okay, last incident I didn't actually pass out, but came VERY close. I was mowing my lawn, sat down in the car to listen to a bit of radio, stood back up and ended up hitting the hood trying to stay upright. Same feeling in my head, only my entire face was tingling.

So to get to my question- I know what is causing the symptoms, low BP. But what can I do about it?! Nothing else is wrong with me according to the doc!!! Has anyone else experianced this before?
