Two Way Action
- Inability to concentrate; unable to retain information from studies of interest, even after taking and reviewing notes.
- Light-headed after standing; temporary "blindness" upon moving forward (peripheral vision becomes impaired).
- Prickles descend repeatedly down each limb when standing for a prolonged period of time, even when room temperature is approximately 70°.
- Occasional tension headaches that encompass temples and abaft the head.
- Severe menstrual cramps lessened only by Advil.
- Nausea when standing for a prolonged period of time; only occurs if preceded by aforementioned prickles and hot flashes.
