POTLUCK Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I had a friend try the poor mans tilt test and the difference Lying to Standing was 33 points. I am wondering what percent of the asymptomatic "normal" population meets criteria, or if not what would a normal Lying to Standing HR change be? Has anyone tested a family member etc., ( nonbiological relative like spouse ) or friend?Or do any of the medical experts on here know of a study where they looked at this. Sort of a tilt test on controls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytwogirlsrox Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 I tested my husband and his changed 6 bpm 61 laying to 67 standing. He's is awesome shape though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clairc Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 My husband has a low resting pulse, 50's or 60. His pulse went up 5 points when I tried it on him. My resting pulse is mid 70's and can go up between 25 -40 when I stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NMPotsie Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 My husband went from 72-80 and had almost no change in bp, even after 10 minutes. Just normal fluctuations. He is in pretty good shape, but he smokes. We did sitting to standing bc the doc said the effort of going from laying to standing can exaggerate the response (on a ttt you don't use effort to get vertical). If I go from sitting to standing I go 55 or so to 110+ pretty quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mattgreen Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 I tested my brother laying and getting up very quickly. His HR increased 12 beats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpchp Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Interesting, I also tested my hubby out of curiosity, his only went up 5 bpm, mine goes up 30 to 50 sometimes! And i haven't had a ttt yet, just the "poor man's" version at the er, so as of yet, not diagnosed as pots, but to me there is no doubt of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mytwogirlsrox Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Potluck, is your friend symptomatic? Wonder why their HR jumped so much. Was it a man or a woman? Would that make a difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POTLUCK Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 No she is not. I am wondering why her HR went up so much also. I had her do it to get more of an idea what normal is. I had my parents do it a while back but Dad hikes bikes and even still runs some. His came out with a very small difference. Mom however has chronic fatigue. Mom's almost, though not quite met criteria. But my friends meets criteria, though she is asymptomatic. Thus I just wondered well how many asymptomatic people meet criteria?

Guest maia Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 potluck, ive often wondered the same thing. im currently very symptomatic and have been for a few years with hr's going from low 60's to 160's but after being diagnosed a couple years ago, i realized that i had the hr issues for at least a decade without any other symptoms. I really would like to know what causes/triggers/stops all the other potsie symptoms that can go along with it. i find it very odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
