POTS - postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
Heart Rhythm Conditions | Last Active: Oct 12, 2022 | Replies (46)Comment receiving replies
Has anyone been to the Jacksonville hospital for autonomic testing for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome? And if so, what was your experience like, how long were you there, etc.
I am looking for a second opinion; my cardio electrophysiologist had me do a Tilt Table Test, which did not show POTS but I was taking a beta blocker at the time, which I am sure skewed the results.
I also suspect hyper-mobility/Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and Gastroparesis
TIA

Hello, @jessicadawn, and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You may note I've moved your message here to this existing discussion on postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) so that you can connect with others talking about this syndrome.Hoping that members who have shared here like @flick027 @kfletch @jobby99 @c130 @julianned will return and share their own experiences from when they (or a loved one) were trying to confirm whether they had POTS and also whether they may have been seen at Mayo Clinic's campus in Jacksonville, Florida. @kariulrich also may have some thoughts for you.

What did your doctor say about the concern regarding the beta blocker potentially skewing your test results, jessicadawn?
