I have similar symptoms and am being evaluated. I must keep fluid and salt intake high. Helps some with symptoms. Table tilt test was normal. I think you have to pass out before they consider abn results. Of course standing from a seated position must by very slow to help the body equalize before standing.

Take care. I hope it is not POTS. It can be difficult to diagnose in early stages.

Thank you, Cindy. I'm sorry that you have POTS

When I looked it up quickly, one thing that struck me was that there is a connection to the digestive system...
I had a lot of abdominal discomfort during the tilt table test, which I thought was odd. I did tell the RN who was observing me.

I also have MS.
