I remember the nurse yelling my name and yelling for others to come help.. I didn’t recover well from the test.. My Bp wasn’t goin back up .. I ended up in the hospital for 8 days. That was one of the worse feelings I ever felt!

Uhh… like 15 minutes, maybe? 20?

Hmm, interesting! Maybe based on my symptoms they suspected NMS more so than POTS? Still not sure why I wasn’t diagnosed with POTS because I did have a 30 bpm heart rate increase…but maybe the drop after the nitroglycerin ruled it out? Dunno. More questions for the follow up! How long did they have you ‘stand’ for?

They got the minimum readings they needed to diagnose dysautonomia (POTS) and then let me go. Wonder what the difference was…
