Re: Transient (about 2 minutes long) elevaion of HR to about 250-300 upon waking

It could probably be caused by neuropathy, but wikipedia lists it

as general disfunction in the automomic nervous system, which might

becaused by the nerves, or I suppose could be caused by the brain, or

perhaps the neural network in the neart itself (possibly similar to

whatever starts fibrillation).

It would *kind of* be nice if it were either predictable, or

triggered, as I could then monitor what happened to the heart rhythm

with a monitor.

Jim, my ignorance is vast on the subject of dysautonomia. This woman

told me she had a tilt table test that made her very sick. And when

her heart rate and BP went wandering off, they didn't self-correct;

thus the trips to the ER. She also mentioned the vagus nerve

malfunctioning. My thought is that if the problem is confined to the

vagus nerve, perhaps some chiropractic adjustments would help, or some

other technique to take pressure off of it.

Just shooting in the dark. There may be lots of other explanations.
