I have ME, but not OI. I do have tachycardia that fits the "30 bpm increase within 10 minutes", but upon moving limbs. I described it here https://s4me.info/threads/anyone-with-dysautonomia-but-no-oi.9653/#post-171129.
I think it is dysautonomia, but I can be upright. My HR is normal as long as...
Thanks! The neuro is not close, but not undoable for a one time visit, either.
Oh wait, yes, the cardiologist helped you before you did the TTT. And a good PCP as well , my GP knows nothing about it.

With a sports watch I found out my HR goes up with more than 30 bpm withon 10 minutes when I move my limbs, but not on standing still. I can put on a sweater lying down and have HR of 120, and can stand with normal HR as long as I keep still.
I have many other symptoms of dysautonomia, such as...
It's possible that the PhD student will do multiple studies to combine into their thesis. They might publish or at least submit several articles during that time. However, publishing is an objective for PhD students afaik and usually takes long. I'm not sure if they can immediately share data...
