my tilt table test came back negative and echo was normal. I hate to say this but I'm devastated. All I'm being told is to drink more water and eat more salt. I need to know the reason why I feel like I'm dying all of the time I don't need to be told for the 4th time by a 4th doctor to drink water and eat salt. I can't go through every single day feeling like I'm going to pass out without any answers.

Me too, I feel like I am someone’s lab experiment. I have dizziness drowsiness, nausea, and several other symptoms. I was diagnosed with chronic migraine with aura due to exposure to benzene related chemicals. I changed my career and went to work in a office job. In 2020 I had long term covid. In May 2021 I collapsed 3 times in the space of 30 minutes was taken to a&e by paramedics to find out my blood pressure was on 56 systolic. The syncope investigation started which included numerous tests including tilt table test. In June 2022 I was diagnosed with vasodepressor syncope by my cardiologist, I was prescribed fluorocorisone in October 2022. In November 2022 I was diagnosed with TMJ and was told my discs on each side are severely damaged and out of place and a senior tmj specialists input is required. I have done private blood tests with medi checks and my gp is also doing further blood tests as my symptoms are still present with no sign of improvement. Funny thing is both my cardiologist and tmj specialist have said that the dizziness is not related to the conditions I have been diagnosed with

Hey. What are pot's? And I been having chest pains for like 3 weeks now none stop. Also I been feeling as if I'm going to pass out whenever I stand up or walk somewhere. I went to ER had abnormal Ekg now they are referring me to a cardiologist for a stress test. Is that good. Bad or what??

What were they doing the testing for if you don’t mind me asking? I was just diagnosed yesterday with POTS and I had to do similar testing. You can message me if you want. 💕
@JustRachelle I’ve got POTS, and am currently on a 30 day heart monitor to look for arrhythmias
@Student_girl I thought that’s what I was going to have to do. We discussed it at a previous appointment but once I did the echocardiogram and stress test my doctor said the monitor wasn’t needed.. it showed on there.
My tests aren’t normal and they tell me the same thing. I know it’s hard not to be validated, but even with my diagnosis there’s not much they can do. I know that sucks, but just keep in mind even with a diagnosis there’s not much they can do
