briarrose Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 What tests did you have done? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Basically most of those are cardinal signs of POTS - although the term Vasodepression I assume referres to a reduction in blood flow to the brain - something that recent studies demonstrate causes the syncope and dizziness.Did you get an ultrasound on your carotid arteries in the neck lying down and then at various tilts on the table?

HoldOnToHope Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 Sounds just like my daughter's POTS. Hope you're seeing Dr. Grubb soon. There's plenty of good treatment!! Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
