Rheumy said it was hip bursitis before he even looked at me. Waiting for an MRI and new rheumy. With strong family history of AS, it's not a huge surprise that I would have it. Yesterday, when I was sitting down, I closed my eyes, and instantly got dizzy. It hasn't gone away and I've been feeling mildly seasick ever since. Add that to the ringing in my ears I've had for weeks, I'm starting to wonder what else could be going on. Any thoughts? http://answers.ankylosing.org/92567/was-dx-by-dr-with-as-rheumy-said-it-was-hip-bursitis-before-he-even-looked-at-me-waiting-for-an-mri/ Tue, 14 Jun 2011 21:36:22 +0000 Asked by Gullyabb 1 year ago http://answers.ankylosing.org/92567/was-dx-by-dr-with-as-rheumy-said-it-was-hip-bursitis-before-he-even-looked-at-me-waiting-for-an-mri/ Question: I have dizzy spells, whenever I have a severe AS flare. What happens is-when I stand up or change position of my head, my blood pressure goes very high. Then plummets back to normal. This is called orthostatic hypertension.

I had quite a few and one made me fully pass out. The only way to get through them was taking deep breaths. http://answers.ankylosing.org/42791/did-anyone-else-at-anytime-in-their-lives-especially-when-they-were-young-experience-dizzy-spells-that/ Wed, 18 Aug 2010 08:52:32 +0000 Asked by Shaun Haulk 2 years ago http://answers.ankylosing.org/42791/did-anyone-else-at-anytime-in-their-lives-especially-when-they-were-young-experience-dizzy-spells-that/
