passing out

[christy2901]

I am a 60 year old woman. I have been feeling like im going to pass out. And i did two weeks ago. Strange thing is when this happens my legs turn red and i have pain in my neck at bottom of my skull and also gets worse if i have to have a bowel movement.

PS You could try taking CoQ10 to strengthen your heart.  It's expensive, but so much less expensive than a hospital stay!

Health insurance is hard to come by until you turn 65 and go on Medicare.  In the mean time senior citizens 55- 65 are in an insurance limbo.  You might apply for county or state health assistance.  I hope you qualify. :(

How come you don't have health insurance?

A nurse who is a customer of mine said it could have something to do with my vagus nerve. From what ive read it could. I dont have insurance and cardiologist is expensive and ive missed a lot of work because lf this condition

This could be caused by a heart condition, which can be quite serious. I hope you can see a cardiologist-- as soon as possible-- to be tested for heart problems. When you, or your primary care doctor's office, makes the appointment, be sure to tell them all of those symptoms so they give you an appointment date with those taken into consideration. Faintness with bowel movements is especially worrisome. I don't know if there are other possible causes and I'm not a doctor, but a relative who worked in a profession which involved the healthcare of seniors has told me about this. I hope you're feeling better soon!
