Father still having fainting spells 2 wks after cath...

[LButlerRN2007]

]I have a question......My father is having fainting spells where he is so weak he can't stand alone. He just had 6 stints put in 2 weeks ago. Drs. said this would help the probelm......it hasn't. Does anyone have any further suggestions that might explain this. We really thought the stint placement would help but so far it hasn't changed a lot. Please help!!

I agree entirely with you.

I learned a lot from all the answers and could use all the critical thinking possible.

Keep them coming. No one was trying to play God here.

Just to show how brillant and great the quality of nurses participating in these discussions.

Obvioulsly, one MD had to rectify his classic answer: "Oh! everything is fine!" , when all he had to do is modify the BP meds (If that MD would have been a nurse on tele he would have noticed that something like 90% of your pts with syncope needs readjustement with their meds!).
