Hey guys,

I've had some symptoms that have been going on for a long time now and havne't been able to get a diagnosis for. I'm begining to think it's dysautonomia. When it's really hot, when I walk for a bit (not far at all), my hands swell like balloons. I also have Mitral valve prolapse, am very flexible, get a racing heart beat about 30-mins. after eating, feel faint often when doing any kind of exercise (even before the MG), and I've actually NEVER been able to tolerate heat. My mom reminded me of when I was very young, I'd sleep with the fan on all year long. One time, in February (freezing cold outside), when I was 15, I slept on the balcony of my grandma's apartment because I could not take the heat. When I stand, my bp goes down instead of up...It's not a 'major' difference, but my doc. confirmed it. I also sweat profusely. In a way, I'm hoping it's dysautonomia because it's better than heart failure or pulmonary disease...Argh...I wish these symptoms would go away...Sorry, I sorta wanted to share this and just vent a bit...

Does anyone here have dysautonomia as well as MG?
