Micturition Syncope
It is now appearing that I most likely suffered from micturition syncope.
This is from Wikipedia.
Micturition syncope or post-micturition syncope is the name given to the human phenomenon of fainting shortly after or during urination. The underlying cause is not fully understood but it may be a result of vasovagal response, postural hypotension, or a combination thereof.
People often become pale, lightheaded, nauseated, sweaty and weak before they lose consciousness. Sometimes defecating, coughing, or severe vomiting may cause fainting in a similar way.
In some ways I think I have been lucky. This picture was taken forty-eight hours after I fell.
I’m looking and feeling a bit better now!

My GP had some advice and a cardiologist friend is starting a study. Anybody want to join the study as a lab rat?

I am glad you have solved the problem. You certainly look the worst for wear in the picture. I find I wake up inb the night desperate for water with a very dry mouth, I shall have to watch that dehydration does not cause me to fall over. The perils of growing old!

For reasons of comparison my proposal is that you post a new photo of today.
