Good advice, and I second the suggestion of seeing your doctor, Rich. They can at least get a baseline EKG, and refer you for an echocardiogram, if necessary.
Also, the shower chair is a good idea too. When I had my second spinal fusion, my hubby bought one. Digging my heels in about getting old, and not needing geezer gear, I wouldn't use it, at first. He finally convinced me to just try it, and I found it a lot more comfortable than having to stand for long periods. I take forever in the shower because my hair is long, and rinsing it is a pain. If Connie feels at all dizzy or lightheaded, it's much better to be sitting, than to risk a fall.
Thinking of you both.
