Tips for Tilt Table Test Tomorrow

@SunInAugust To my understanding there is little medical discussion of non-POTS dysautonomia, which is why doctors tend to jump there first I think (it's all they know/are aware of). Though I know POTS has some pretty solid diagnostic criteria so if you fit into it that is most likely accurate. If you don't fit it and they are diagnosing you with it anyways, that's an issue. If you're questioning a diagnosis I think you could ask your doctor why they think POTS is the right answer and if they have considered other possibilities like vasovagal syncope, orthostatic hypo/hypertension, etc.

@LovelyNova it’s no problem at all, and thank you for sharing! Wow, I hope you were quickly stabilized and comfortable. Was there a diagnosis after those results? I did fine with the tilt, minor fluctuations, mostly dizziness. Because no symptoms presented they administered sublingual nitro glycerin. That rocked my world, almost went down after that but was told my reaction was normal. My legs started to give out and even though I was strapped in the nurse had to hold my knees up. Spinning dizziness, pouring sweat, nausea (the nursed did the alcohol pad trick, it helped) , shortness of breath. Luckily no major headache! Thanks again

@LovelyNova that is crazy! I worry that when I have a doctors appointment scheduled I will wake up feeling fine and have no symptoms and the doctors will say nothing is wrong. Dont get me wrong, itd be great to wake up with no symptoms. But its strangely affirming to hear from you that the test shows what its suppose to
