Lainy Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm just having a hard time wrapping my head around this. A couple weeks ago, my cardiologist told meĀ I have a hyper form of dysautonomia. My question is how does dysautonomia effect the electrical function of the heart? Does it at all, or is it typical to get 'normal' EKG readings even though your heart's racing(120+ resting)Ā and pounding out of your chest? Does this test result mean he was wrong? Does it mean I'm back to square one trying to find a diagnosis if my heart's electrical function is fine? Thanks in advance for any knowledge you can share! I'm just trying to understand.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogini Posted March 13, 2018 Report Share Posted March 13, 2018 Dysautonomia doesn't affect heart rhythm, only heart rate. Ā Most everyoneĀ hasĀ a normal EKG and ECG. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitdys Posted March 14, 2018 Report Share Posted March 14, 2018 Mine is completely normal! I believe it is normal to have a healthy heart while also still having POTS, it just means our heart rates are faster than normal in inappropriate times.
