[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The oral surgeon might want to postpone because of unexplained fainting, or near-fainting. If this is POTS, getting a bunch of IV fluids before and during the dental surgery will keep her from fainting. It’s not about dehydration per se but about low blood volume, and getting more fluids in increases your blood volume. Your story about her fainting after the shower makes me think this is POTS. If it’s vasovagal, I think surgery will likely be hard for her because blood things often bring on a fainting episode. I don’t know what the advice is to prevent that. I think an ice pack on your chest or something? I have POTS so I’m more familiar with that. But yeah, the dental surgery does complicate things.[/quote] Fainting in the shower can occur with vasovagal too; combination of standing & hot temperature.[/quote]
