I have alot of symptoms…zero temperature regulation, low blood pressure frequently around 88/58, sweating at times….like ALOT of sweating,IBS, fainting, exercise intolerance, very bad idea to walk after eating, asthma…also I have heart stuff. A-fib, PACs, avrnt. Have had a few cardiac ablations…nothing is better. Had tilt table test that ruled out POTS but still nearly fainted. Tested for mast cell disease but all results normal. Very frustrated. Dr said i should try zyrtec and zantac but i feel no better and no worse. Well. Now what? Anyone here been diagnosed with mitochondrial disease?

I underwent a test through Dr Sarah Myhill which showed I had a mitochondrial problem. It showed I was deficient in many vitamins (mainly the variety of B vitamins) and minerals. I couldn’t understand this as I had been eating a very good diet – but this, I suppose is what happens when your vagus nerve is stuffed and your digestive system isn’t working properly.

“Dr. Diana will always hold a very special place in my heart for her selfless devotion to helping everyone, not just the Ehlers-Danlos community. I hate to think what my life would be without her insight and guidance.”
