But, there could be other underlying issues too - like blood isn't circulating properly (vessel and/or valvular issue) or the chambers aren't talking properly (atria/ventricles out of sync, but less likely). Usually, the causes are quite benign in nature, which is good. Once you're in Med School (soon, right?) - you'll be able too tell us so much more than me, girl! (btw, are you a runner/athlete? If so, perhaps you used to have low blood pressure - resulting in the occasional drops)

shoot...I don't run unless I am being chased.......and I truly fear for my life LOL
