I keep feeling like I'm going to pass out

Glad you are feeling better. Entyvio would be a good choice for you since you have things calmed down with the Uceris. I loved Entyvio. Highly recommend it.

Thanks, Sarah.

The infusion was yesterday and all went well. I had a few days where things weren't perfect but then it went back to normal so my fingers are crossed that I am in R-land ;)

Hello Sara14,

I have come across this post searching for reasons why I have just suddenly, in the past month, started to feel like I’m going to pass out. The first time I was just sitting down working and it came on suddenly. It scared me terribly. I came out to the thread to ask if you had any tingling in your head afterwards? Almost a month later, same thing… sitting ne feeling like I was going to lose consciousness. I didn’t, I had to lie down and after each episode it’s days before I feel better and then it starts again. My white blood cell count was out of range the first time. This second time in range. I too thought carbon monoxide but everyone else in the house is fine. I can’t get doctors to really listen. The internet says all sorts of things especially about some out of range lab results. I don’t understand my EKG readings and hope to be seen again by a doctor soon. Just wondering if it resolved for you?

Thank you so much! I appreciate the reply!

For anyone who was following my saga, I'm better now. The lightheadedness and passing out feelings were very mild this week, and now I feel normal again. I'm 3 weeks off of Humira now. I felt significantly better 2.5 weeks off of Humira. I don't think it was a coincidence.

Glad you figured out the cause. I just came here to share my experience that when my UC is active, I always have low blood pressure (90/60 range). Taking biologics made it worse... any biologic (I tried them all). I lived with the super low blood pressure that biologics caused because initially they helped me, especially Entyvio.
