puppylove Posted February 4, 2012 Report Posted February 4, 2012 Stand up and drop your arms at your side for 3-4 min. keeping your hands still. Now put one hand all the way up for 10 seconds. Now look at both hands. Freaky right?! Also can't you feel the blood leave your hand?! I freaked several of my friends out by showing them my purple hand next to my other hand!! Quote
peregrine Posted February 5, 2012 Report Posted February 5, 2012 I just did this and had my (non-dysautonomic) partner do it too - our hands looked the same and he described the same symptoms. Normal physiological response? (now he knows how my legs feel!) Quote
puppylove Posted February 13, 2012 Author Report Posted February 13, 2012 Yeah everyones will to some extent. My cardiologist just did this with me and my mom (non disautonomic) and mine was shocking compared to hers. Blood pooling is one of my worst symptoms though... Quote
potsyturvy Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 My hand was purple after 1 minute and my other hand was white. My mom's was the same way, but my dad's was only a little red. I could feel the blood pooling into my hands when I first stood up and put them down at my side. Quote
