Mom passed out for a few seconds when she was transferring from bed to chair. She went completely limp and the aid and I had to get her to the chair - not a pretty sight.
Then the physical therapist was getting her back to bed and while she didn't pass out - she was very weak and unsteady. He noted that she was holding her breath, so I know that is what happened when she got up. Her blood pressure dropped (which is normal upon standing) and then she held her breath and wham! she lost consciousness briefly. We'll make sure she breathes next time!!! I can't take any more of that kind of excitement
