Re: orthostatic hypotension JEN

Hi Jen

I have got RA and Sjogrens also.dx 25 yrs ago.

I just thought I would let you know that have had the tilt table tests also. I was dx with Neurally mediated hypotension or as they sometimes call it here

Vaso Vagal syncope.

It has given me problems for a long time now. about 5 yrs now I think it is... fainting spells and dizziness.

I wasnt given any medication as I was told there wasnt anything that would help me.. I was told when I felt faint I had to lie down with my feet higher than my head .Its ok them saying that its not to easy to that when you are in the supermarket ha ha ha

I am not sure if there is any relation with this problem to the RA.

when you had the tilt table tests did you pass out on the table I did !!

take care

Joyce
