Thank you for reply Amina… its concerning so many people are being undiagnosed or misdiagnosed….

I have just had the report back from the tilt table test I had done on 8th November! It states absolutely nothing about the extreme tachycardia during the test, it only states that I had a drop in blood pressure whilst having symptoms and no drop in heart rate, that syncope is the possible cause of blackouts (I don’t have them) and so he wants to treat me with midodrine.

talk about listening skills! or reporting on test skills, this is absolutely outrageous…
