wasnt really expecting too, since I wasnt feeling all that bad today.

I dont pass out, but i have been dizzy most of the last 7 months and sometimes when very ill feel near to fainting.

within 20 seconds of administering the isuprel, i felt faint/sick. After the test, Nurse told me to drink water and eat more salt and gave me a sheet on neurocardiogenic syncope.

I dont have a cardiologist officially, was just sent there by a neuro for the test, i see him again on weds. so maybe i will get more info then.

(altho neuro thinks llmds and igenex are quacks, trust me this is my last visit with him, only going there for test results and copies for my records.)

This is common with lyme, correct? Hoping maybe it will help me get a diagnosis, i am still waiting results on my quest western blot and LLMD doesnt do igenex testing until first visit.

In the meantime not sure what it means for me, should i have further cardiac workup or more tests???

Do you have low BP when standing? Or tachycardia when standing. Your condition is known as dysautonomia. There are several different ways that it can present.

Depending on your symptoms you may want a cardiac work-up. I would wait to see what the neuro thinks.

If you are having cardiac symptoms I would check out the heart.

While you're waiting for that appointment, look up POTS and NMH. You can start here if you'd like:

hOpe the extra water and salt will help some!

Yes, it is frequently seen in patients with lyme.

I had the same results with the tilt table (although I did pass out) and was given the same bogus advice.

I'm seeing a cardiologist tomorrow and hoping to get some real help!
