Woke Dizzy Blurred Vision age 91

Hello and welcome to e health forum.

The description of the history indicates the possibility of postural (orthostatic) hypotension, associated with autonomic neuropathy.

Autonomic neuropathy is a group of symptoms that occur when there is damage to the nerves ‎that manage every day body functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, bowel and bladder ‎emptying, and digestion. In your case, probably the nerves controlling the blood vessels or the ‎heart may be affected, hence causing the symptoms you are having.

The causes for such conditions include advanced age, long term diabetes, heart failure, etc.‎

Treatment is supportive and may need to be long-term. Several treatments may be attempted ‎‎before a successful one is found. Various strategies may be used to reduce symptoms of light-‎‎headedness or dizziness when standing, including - ‎

‎1. Extra salt in the diet or taking salt tablets to increase fluid volume in blood vessels. ‎

‎2. Fludrocortisone or similar medications to help your body retain salt and fluid‎

‎3. Sleeping with the head raised‎

‎4. Wearing elastic stockings‎.

5. Avoid prolonged standing — especially in hot, crowded places — and drink plenty of fluids. ‎

You may consult with your doctor for a physical examination and proper advice and treatment.
