We share so many similarities. I started out like you. I kept getting told there was nothing wrong. And just toughen up and if I would exercise more I would feel better. The real surprise came during the stress test yes over two years to get that simple test done. Less than three minutes into it and 20 seconds on incline I had a heart rate of 272 bpm. And a 50bpm jump in resting to standing tilt test.

Hi Robert Elrod ii, Silly, I know, but I felt almost euphoric after my first tilt table test, confirming my suspicions! I assume they already ruled out carcinoid and pheochromocytoma with you, right? When I had my first TTT, I was in great physical shape. The doctor even commented on my leg muscles *blush*. I walked in with the complaint of “inability to exercise” and left with “a prescription to exercise”. Soooo glad we’ve gotten past that! Did you try Zyrtec, perchance? (forgive me if I’m repeating myself… So many people, so many meds.Hang in, my friend.
