DBP4620 Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I had autonomic testing today and my hr went up 60 bpm from start to end of tilt but my bp was high in the 160-180/90-100 range during the tilt..... is that normal for POTS or is that hyperadernergic, or something else?

Chaos Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'm guessing you mean your blood pressure was in that range? What was it before you were tilted up? If you have a significant increase in BP with the tilt, some docs will use that to indicate hyperadrenergic POTS. But usually they also want a serum catecholamine test to show a rise in Norepinephrine along with it. Remember that hyperadrenergic POTS isn't a category that is recognized universally by autonomic specialists.Sounds like you got some definite results that should help them get you a good diagnosis at least.
