It's been a day. We walked to a park close to our house this morning for an Earth Day event. Spent an hour or so walking around, then my husband started feeling light headed. He ended up passing out and turned completely grey. I thought he died. He woke up after a few seconds and we got him sat up.

There were medics at the event, so he was seen right away. Ambulance came and looked him over. Heart is fine, blood sugar perfect, blood pressure was low. He has MS and is on meds for high blood pressure. They took him to hospital to get checked over.

They had trouble finding a vein, so they were thinking he was dehydrated. Bloodwork was fine. They gave him a litre of fluids via IV. He can now stand and walk with no issues. He will have to see a specialist in a couple weeks.

They are thinking some kind of syncope condition that causes lightheadedness from standing too long. He already has cough syncope. He is currently waiting on paperwork, then they're kicking him out. He has to go back for a test in the morning, though. Ugh, what a day!
