Thank you!! I have just been diagnosed with dysautonomia and it is hard to explain it to people. Even my doctors. This will help alot.

Hi all,

Is it normal to feel all right in the morning and then be at work for a few hours and want to pass out from being so dizzy? I used to work 40+ hours a week and now I can only work about 25. Some times just sitting on the couch I feel dizzy. Does any one else? At times I can't even walk out to my car. Is this "normal"? Does anyone know how someone gets dysautonomia and is there any thing I can do to help with the dizzyness? I also have been having a hard time sleeping even though all I want to do is lay down. Why? Are the headaches appart of this also or is it stress?

Hi Carmen,

Thank you for the info. I will go through the posts. Do you know how you get dysautonomia? Is there anything I can do when I feel dizzy?

Hi everyone,

I have been diagnosed with dysautonomia within the last couple of weeks. I am very confused about what is going on. From what my doctor said it was because of a virus I may of had. From what I am reading it has nothing to do with a virus. I feel like I am going crazy. No one I know has ever heard of this and I can't seem to find alot of information on the internet regarding this. I was hoping someone out there could help me with some questions I have. Please!

Thank you,

Dana
