Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Does anyone know any type of treatment for dystatuonomia? Grace seems to be getting more and more sypmtoms from this all the time, and the old problems are just getting worse. She has had all the testing to make sure none of the symptoms are related to anything else, but I don't know if any of this can cause serious problems or not. Here is what seems to be "off" most often now. High BP average is 120/90 (this week in the hosp. it got up to 210/120) Resting Pulse is now about 100 Very severe Heat intolerance Hypoglycemia (but this seems to be pretty in control right now.) Any help is appreciated? ,Mommy to (9), (7), Bre-Anne (6), Grace (2) and our newest arrival is due Sept. 20thFor the latest baby info, and to see our family check out:www.BabyCountDown.com?baby=4007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My teen is supposed to drink 2-4L of fluid a day. Antidepressants are also sometimes used. Some may use blood pressure meds too. Dysautonomia patients tend to have low blood pressure though. It goes down as you get up from a seated position and you lose consciousness. I would be concerned about the high blood pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
