kortnei Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I have lurked here quite a bit. My dx was originally orthostatic hypotension and MVP. Recently I went to a dermatologist for a routine skin cancer check and she told me (after a fairly extensive exam) that I have EDS also. My question: is EDS a known cause of orthostatic hypotension? Any help would be appreciated. I noticed that many of you on this board have EDS and probably know WAY more than I do since I just was diagnosed with that last week. Thanks for your help.

kortnei Posted July 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Does anyone have neck pain or eye pain too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desiree942 Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I was told that with joint hypermobility your blood vessels may not constrict as well and make you more likely to have orthostatic hypotension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Joint pain, including the spine, is common with EDS. You might want to take a look at the EDS website-- http://www.ednf.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
