Hi everybody . I am an 59 year old woman, who has been ill since childhood, but only got diagnoised recently, after taking a tilt table test. I have experienced severe "attacks", as I call them...which can land me in the hospital sometimes, most of my life. I was funtional til about the age of 35, after which fatique became more and more of an issue. At the age of 40, I had severe cognitive problems and had to stop working. Not fun when you are a single Mom with two children. Then, pain and assorted other issues became worse, and I was diagnoised with CFS and FMS, and autoimmune issues. I couldn't find out why I had random falls flat onto my face, and no one could explain my "attacks". No doctor ever suggested I go to a cardologist, til now. I finally took the tilt table test and was diagnoised with Neurocardiogenic syncope. The discription of Neurocardiogenic syncope seems extremely inadiquite. Basically, says that it is just fainting ( not that fainting is no big deal)and the person is otherwise fine. I didn't even realise that my falls were fainting! And as far as my attacks...they were so horrible ( unbearable chest pain, pale, sweating, slurred speach, severe cramps, at times, and vomiting and diarreah....lasting up to an hour! And very sick for days afterward. Though I may have passed out while on the floor, the last thing I thought it was is a fainting spell! Don't understand this. I get sick standing, but usually lay down before passing out....so fainting is not an issue. When I read about P.O.T.S, and dysautonomia, I recognise all the different things I deal with.... Do I have the wrong diagnosis? I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this.
