Question: I was diagnosed with dysautonomia in 1995. I was having tachycardia and hypertension with dizziness upon standing, sweating, thirst, exercise intolerance, difficulty breathing ( I could breathe but felt like I wasn't taking in enough air)). I've had drop attacks, falling without losing consciousness, due to a sudden drop in blood pressure. I've had high blood pressure readings as high as 210/135. I've had low blood pressure as low as 70/43. My doctor says that it's very hard to treat my blood pressure because of such extreme fluctuations. I've also developed idiopathic hyper somnolence so severe I had to take early retirement from my teaching job. About six months ago I began experiencing vertigo. It comes and goes and I never know when I will experience an onset. I went to a doctor who ran tests to find out what type of dysautonomia I have but he said the tests were inconclusive. I think that the medications that I'm on masked my response to the tests. If I'm not experiencing an attack when they do the tests, I don't think the tests show a positive response. Is there any treatment for this disorder? I'm on a lot of medicines but I still experience symptoms every day. I want so much to lead a normal life without thes limitations. Is there a chance the symptoms will lessen over time? Thank you for any advice you can give me.
