WreckingHotelRooms Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 I've a tilt table test next week, finally! One thing that's concerning me is I have vertigo / dizziness and during a CT it showed up thick frontal Sinusitis (head), this is what is believed to be causing the dizziness that I have, if this is the cause lets say, could this confuse a Tilt Table result? Also, i don't know how I am gonna do a tilt table, i my temperature goes crazy from minor things at the minute, like even moping the floor, it's like i've no temperature control, even a shower, I can feel totally normal, get out and within minutes be in some type of fever state, but that is probably a sign or clue to something.. i don't imagine i'll make the whole test. Thanks to all the members, you've been really helpful so far Quote
WinterSown Posted June 5, 2018 Report Posted June 5, 2018 Shouldn't be a problem except that some of the medication for sinus allergies can effect your heart rate. I would call the TTT lab ASAP and ask what meds you can take. They will also let you know that allowable meds won't effect your test. Temperature fluxes are a frequent symptom of dysautonomia. You WANT your doctors to see your symptoms on diagnosis days. Have a mega flare and it's okay. The doctor and assistants take everything into account--current and past. Quote
WreckingHotelRooms Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Posted June 5, 2018 Thank you. Strangely they told me I could all my meds including Beta Blockers , but I am not going to take them as they purposely bring down your heart rate so what's the point IMO. Thanks Quote

Thanks Purposely not taking your heart meds before a heart test is not a good idea and will give a false reading--purposely not taking your heart meds at anytime is never a good idea. There's a big myth that you have to faint on the TTT or you don't have dysautonomia. I think less than 40% of dysautonomics faint, I didn't. But I still got diagnosed. Doctors take into account your full history, your behavior during the test, and your reactions. They are looking at reactions based on the expectation that you did take your prescriptions as advised. Please reconsider to take your meds or you can blow the test and/or your management with false readings. Edited June 6, 2018 by WinterSown good stuff Quote
WreckingHotelRooms Posted June 6, 2018 Author Report Posted June 6, 2018 Wise words.. Okay, i'll do that. Thanks WinterSown Quote
