Got dizzy while sitting

I'm not a doctor and I've never played one on tv...

However, I have had something similar. I also have low blood pressure and my hubby and I went out to dinner one night. We were almost ready to leave the restaurant...I was still seated and feeling fine and the next thing I knew, I was starting to get dizzy. I sort of blacked out! I could hear my husband talking to the staff and asking me if I were ok. (I clearly remember hearing someone ask if I had had too much to drink!) Anyway, the feeling passed and I started feeling much better once I got outside in the cold. I told my mom about it and she laughed and said that that used to happen to her alot because of her low blood pressure. When you eat, alot of blood rushes to the stomach to help it to process the food. That can sometimes take a bit too much out of the brain. My hubby didn't want to take my mom's (non) medical opinion and made me go to the doctor. The doc agreed with mom!
 
Well...went to Dr. and my blood pressure was 130/90 They also took blood for a work up. They also sent me to get a Holted Monitor. It monitors your heart for 24 hours. I will go back and get the monitor off tomorrow, they will read the monitor and get back with my Dr. I go and see him in 2 weeks. Keep fingers crossed! He said I may have just gotten dehydrated or stressed, but he wanted to make sure. When they straped on the monitor, she also said my heart rate was high. I was a bit nervous too...?
