That's interesting, elmer. I've had LOTS of trouble with vertigo, but never felt like I was going to pass out.
I've had occasional bouts of atrial fibrillation for years, (controlled now), and at one point in the past I did pass out. I woke up next to the toilet with a fat lip from where my face hit it on the way down. My medications, (beta blockers+lisinopril), can also make me a little dizzy from time to time. So for me there's a bit of a precedent.
Both my GP and my cardiologist have given me the green light for diving, but when I'm feeling a bit of narcosis and vertigo that's what scares me.
