RaniNightOwl Posted December 24, 2018 Report Share Posted December 24, 2018 Hello everyone. <3 I have IST and some other issues. I'm on Corlanor which is helping a lot with the tachycardia, but I'm still getting a lot of exercise intolerance (getting overheated and having huge BP spikes) and adrenaline rushes from time to time. My cardiologist sent me for blood and 24-hour urine tests for catecholamines and metanaphrines. The blood tests came back fine, except for a low dopamine level. On the urine test, the dopamine was fine, but the epinephrine level was so low it was below the measurable parameter of the test. Anyone else ever have this? I'm thinking it might explain why the adrenaline rushes hit me so hard, but I'm at a loss to explain why. I'm going to chat with the cardio of course, but I'm curious as to whether this is a common thing for dys patients. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
