AmberK Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 I don't know what my HR readings were on the TTT, just know that it was high throughout but I was told that one of the reasons that my test was inconclusive is because I didn't faint until 32 minutes. This, together with repeatedly reading that the diagnostic criteria for POTS is a 30 BPM increase or a HR over 120 within the first 10 minutes of the test makes me wonder why any TTT is longer than 10 minutes. Can anyone explain this please, as I'm very confused? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 A lot of people have both POTS and NMH. My understanding is that the diagnostic criteria for the NMH requires the longer TTT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
