Something else worth considering might be if eating is changing your breathing patterns. Would likely have some impact if you have OI and tend to...
I found its a good way to scare nurses and GPs, I had a 24hr BP monitor hang around 180/100 most of the evening, despite being relaxed on the...
A tilt result positive for POTS combined with other relevant clinical symptoms should also lead to further investigations. Presumably in an ideal...
From the report: Post-concussive POTS? This is not at all news for anyone versed in dysautonomia research.
Abstract Background Previous studies have demonstrated that functional autoantibodies to adrenergic receptors may be involved in the pathogenesis...
Were they not suggesting that it was the combined effect of 1x or more poor performance causes (HV, Mito, Neuropathy) that gave you the different...
It didn't make it clear either way I don't think. The reason I leaned towards the assumption it was retrospective was because of the review type...
Some interesting points raised @Snow Leopard. I think some of the confusion/disappointment might stem from this not really being a CFS study? Not...

I guess the same underlying mechanism that first damaged/disrupted your sensory small fibre nerves eventually hit the autonomic small fibres too -...
Glad you get on with midodrine - unfortunately that one is off limits to me because I lean more towards the hyper adrenergic POTS spectrum, my BP...
Hi @ProudActivist, Sorry to hear you get these problems too. Out of interest, do you notice a mottling, red/white lacy appearance on your skin? I...
Here are a few of the many possible causes to explore, these I can offer from personal experience: 1 - Hyperventilation. This isn't necessarily...
This may be way off the mark but something I recall from my autonomic workup was a carotid sinus massage to check for carotid sinus...
POTS is a simplified/lazy way of talking about wider autonomic dysfunction and is absolutely not limited to having simple issues that only occur...
Hi @philw44, welcome. Your readings and description of symptoms are a very good fit for POTS, which seems to overlap with ME/CFS and is a very...
I have the same thing, it tends to track with general health and has become more noticeable recently with it often visible on my upper arms, as...
