Question
My dad became a quad 7 yrs ago a result from spinal stenosis.My question is his health seems to be failing, & after all the tests have been done there seems to be nothing wrong.  But his blood pressure won't level off, he can't eat, he gets faint and almost passes out when he gets out of bed.  He's losing weight and his bones are near the point of breaking through his skin. He also experiences times when he passes out and quits breathing which is quite scary for my mom and dad's caregiver.  My question is, is this normal and what else can we expect.

Answer
Hi Lorian,
Thanks so much for your question.

Unfortunately, I am not that familiar with spinal stenosis. My expertise is more towards spinal cord injuries.
