Good luck
thanks Doydie....yeah the insurance co's do somehow come out ahead....lol. appreciate your input! thanks

I had a myliogram/LP on a tilt table a long time ago-1975, by a Neuro/Surgeon
and received a MS DX. They didn't do MRIs way back then. They were looking to
eliminate brain tumors

Is that what you are having?
Let us know how is goes for you and Take Care.

I had one a few years ago to rule out vasal vagal syncope-drop in heart rate and/or blood pressure.
It's not scary-they just tilt the bed a bit and take pulse and BP readings...

Hey thanks Debbie, that's why they are giving it to me as well. what would someone experience for instance if they did have vassal vagal sycope during the test? do you know? I've had syncope problems so they are trying to figure out why. the heart meds I am on should handle it perfectly. I'm kindof worried that if I go into an episode during the test...any ideas?

thanks so much for your input

Janet I would think if you had an episode of vasal vagal syncope during the test you might pass out, have a pretty low blood pressure and heart rate. Good luck, when is it scheduled?

hey Doydie.... thanks for your thoughts. I would imagine they monitor the patient carefully during the test. Not scheduled for a week or two I think....so many tests lately.....I will let you know what happens! Thanks for your support!

Thanks Doydie....its scheduled for a couple of weeks from now. I'm feeling less anxious about it now that everyone here has weighed in and it will be what it will be.

Thanks so much

Thanks Sally! I have symptoms with my heart and syncope that could be neurologic I guess. I don't know .... the number of dr's and tests trying to figure out what happened in Nov when I went thru those awful weeks and months of concussion and bad meds (along w/an incompetent dr). So hopefully I can get some answers. I will let you know. Thanks so much for caring. your presence here on this board is always a great comfort.

If you're going to pass out, it's a good place to have it occur. They are watching to see if your heart rate and blood pressure plummet when in different positions.

My late MIL had this problem. They installed a pacemaker, and she didn't have another episode until Alzheimer's messed with her brain, interrupting signals that covered basic functions

I had one in 2008 as well, that's how I was diagnosed with POTS.

If you do pass out you are strapped to the bed so you won't fall and they are right there.

Hope the test helps you get some answers!
