Black outs

I went almost two weeks with no black outs. this morning was getting my daughter ready for school and she had just left i went to the bathroom and woke up on the floor. dang it. there goes my driving privileges again. does any one use anything to prevent their falling before surgery. or any way to stay safe from these things. i sure hurt myself today got a huge bruise on my side and hit my head on the bathroom sink. anything you do to stay safe would be great thanks.

honestly i called the family dr since they are the one scheduling my appointment.. im very upset right now told her i have new symptoms. that im blacking out regularly and yea tonight had my first public black out... i felt so embarrassed... and then now i cant swallow it feels like everything is stuck in my chest and i have to gulp to get anything down.. what is wrong with me.. they told me to what the two weeks to see the specialist and dont worry about my symptoms. and my insurance wont pay for me to go to the specialist i want to go to even though they accept my insurance they need a referral and my dr wont give me a referral to them because they only work with this dr i have never seen. im so UPSET
