One of my managers (one of the cool ones) walked in and asked me if I was ok. Yeah, I was fine, I just really shouldn't stand up until it's over or I might pass out. I hate that.

I use to get them all the time too when I lived in Albuquerque, it was so dry there. There were times I'd wake up in the morning with a big red spot on my pillow, and a dried brown "trail" down my cheek. And I had no idea, since I was sleeping.

They are a drag, and I am afraid at my age that it might have something to do with high blood pressure as well; and that it just happens. Will this be the first sign of a stroke for me?
