sfr100 Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Does anyone know if there is a medical/autonomic test to tell just how much your arteries and veins are vasodilating? My heart doesn't feel like it did when I first got diagnosed w/POTS 10 years ago. It beat real hard then so everything now feels like the blood isn't being pushed up enough? Any ideas? Thanks!

nadine Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Just wondering if you have a cardiologist? I would think an echocardiagram would tell you this. I know I have had several and also very high tech nuclear imaging test done of my heart. I did not have to do any exercise for either of these. You may want to discuss with your doctor.
