My brother and I both have been told that we have this condition. My brother's seems to be more in response to the sight of blood only. Mine is in response to almost any stress.
A number of things have helped me. Doing yoga and learning to control my body better, drinking caffene, and going through pregnancy. Pregancy and age seemed to raise my blood pressure so that the drop isn't as bad. Also I get migranes in response to the drops in my blood pressure. Imitrex of Maxalt are the medications that I take to remedy that problem.
I have not taken Florniff but from what hrdwareguy says, I would probably take it to help this problem. You can always go off or reduce the dosage (with your Dr's direction) if you find that the blood pressure goes up too much or you retain too much water. It doesn't sounds too bad.
I have learned to stand up in increments if I've been sitting or lying down for too long. Drinking plenty of water so that I don't end up getting dehydrated and making my blood pressure even lower, helps a lot. It's amazing how little we drink sometimes compared to what we actually need.
