juliegee Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi John,I might get speech slurring before a faint or if I have severe hypoglycemia. With POTS alone.....probably not.Julie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 John,I get slurring when my symptoms are bad, light-headed etc.. If I stand in one place too long or overexert myself, my husband says that it sounds like I am drunk. Sit down or do one of the faint countermanuvers to get more blood to your head. Yes, it is ******* annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it is ******* annoying. Geez, it's like I'm doing better then I'm doing worse with all the running I've been doing and working out i had my standing pulse to 80 bpm and my blood pressure was not through the roof like it normally does when i stand it's starting to go back again....... bandaid broke........I'm seeing a neurologist Dr. Imad T. JarJour at Tx childrens hospital in houston texas apparently he handles ans issues and POTS as well.... I'm lucky I've had ans problem since i was 14 and never new it but was being treated for all kinds of stuff now that the stuff hit the fan i get to see this guy i'm pretty lucky. because texas childrens hospital does not see patients over 17 unless they were already being treated for the condition. Now that I'm starting to get more neurological problems I'm starting to worry about a more generalized form of dysautonomia. Which I don't want............I want to make my body and heart get Super strong so I have no issues..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 JOhn, my slurring gets MUCH worse during and after exercise. My BP gets really narrow and that is when the slurring is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momofsara Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yes, Sara's slurring gets much worse when shes having a bad day or gets overtired. As was mentioned in firewalkers post--Sara sounds like shes drunk. Sometimes it gets really hard to understand her. We were not sure if its due to her dysautonomia problems or from the damage she has as a result of surgery for Chiari malformation. SOOOO who knows??????? There is still so much not understood about this condition and all its underlying conditions--------Good luck and best to youSusan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelissaCrystal Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I slur when I'm feeling brain fog. I just can't seem to form sentences when I'm in that state, and I seem to slow down a lot and forget things easily too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarct Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 I have never really gotten slurred speech, but I do put little effort in saying my words and mumble to the point that I am asked "what". I get so mad when I am forced to repeat myself. I just can't put the upmph in my speech at times to get it to the right decible. It's especially bad if we have been walking through the mall, or at the store and I am feeling icky. I am also quite short and snippy at these times, because I am not feeling well and really go into "hurry up to the car so I can sit and relax mode" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
