Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hi RH, Gee those are low readings! I wonder why it is so up and down? I am glad you are seeing someone about it. An evaluation for dysautonomia? I was evaluated this summer and was okay. I hope they find out what the problem is for you. :-) Adam > > Low blood pressure is a very difficult thing to deal with.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 Thanks for your concern, especially when you are going through so much. Just went to the cardiologist today, thought I'd be there 1/2 hour and ended up staying 4 hours and getting a 30-day event monitor. At least it isn't noticeable, as opposed to the 48-hour EEG I did at home. They scheduled a stress test, chemical not treadmill because of the mito, and an echocardiogram also... Take care, RH > > > Low blood pressure is a very difficult thing to deal with.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi RH :-) I am so glad your cardiologist appointment has led to further investigation! It must be reassuring that they are trying to get to the bottom of it. I will keep my fingers crossed that they can learn enough information from these tests to be able to help you with the symptoms. Thanks for the update. When you schedule these further tests, I hope you will keep pacing yourself in mind and not let them wipe you out. Doctors and their personnel aren't thinking about how long it takes to recover from things or how much it takes out of you to go to these appointments and have procedures. I remind you as I am now reminding myself for the umpteenth time. lol Adam > Thanks for your concern, especially when you are going through so > much.
