Jacquie802 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 So today I got the results of my rotational chair testing and it was normal....The other tests taht came back abnormal could still indicate a problem, but does POTS cause disequilibrium? I know when I'm dizzy due to the POTS it could cause me to be unstable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgan617 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Glad you even got through the rotational chair! Have they done ABR testing or an eng? Most of the people on here get dizzy, which is quite different from vertigo, so I'd say, off hand yea, imbalance is a large part of pots.You could check with an ent if you haven't already for the more basic tests mentioned above, just to rule out inner ear disorders. Good luck...morganENG= electronystygnagram and ABR rules out meneires. The eng would be looking for cochlear damamge. I'm sure the chair (it makes feel sick just think about it ) would rule out benign paroxymal positional vertigo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 I get light-headedness, disequilibrium, vertigo in the room spinning sense and the whole shebang - As there are all symptoms of pre-synacope they are most certainly caused by POTS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Girl Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 I also passed the rotational chair test but failed the ENG. The neurologist at the time tried not to make too much out of it because he couldn't explain the results--this was prior to my diagnosis with POTS.
