ken870 Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 i was thinking since my heart rate was 125 laying down during the tilt table test and when i was tilted to a standing position it increase to a heart rate of 200 does this mean hyperadrenergic pots.

Ernie Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hi,Not necessarily. You need to have your catecholamines checked to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momdi Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Agree. My son has hyperadrenergic pots and his supine heart rate is very low. It's the blood levels that are diagnostic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelika_23 Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Interesting. My catecholamines were checked, and I was told I did not have hyperadrenergenic POTS. This year I went to Vanderbilt, and was told that my POTS is, indeed, hyperadrenergenic. My urine was checked for catecholamines inititally. I guess that test isn't always right?

ramakentesh Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Studies in the Heart Centre in Australia seemed to indicate that its the NE reuptake at the synaptic level that causes the symptoms of a hyperadrenergic state even when blood levels are sometimes found to be normal. This may be caused by NE transporter deficiency but I think their jury is still out on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
