4everOptimistic Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 Hello. Just recently had a tilt table test at the Cleveland clinic and am looking at my results. I won't go to talk with the doc to go over all the lab results until mid March. I thought I would pick your brains now instead of wait. LOL How does HR and BP respond in a person with dysautonomia compare with the HR and BP in a normal (or would it be negative) result? What should the numbers be and how much should they change?(BTW, I tried to do a search but couldn't find the info. Feel free to tell me where to look. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkoven Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I think the normal response is for hr to increase no more than 15-20 bpm, and and bp to increase slightly. Postive for POTS is 30 or more increase in hr. Postive for orthorstaitc hypotension is a 20 point drop in systolic and or 10 point drop in diastolic. and of there are other ways of responding abnormally, but those are two measures of ans function they look at.
