Any existing relevant medical issues orthostatic hypotension
Current medications hormones
I’ve had orthostatic hypotension for a few years. No known case. Had eval that was otherwise normal. Cardiologist examined me 6 months prior because of a surgery and deemed my heart to be healthy. Over the past two days, I started having rapid heart rate and shortness of breath in addition the passing out upon standing . Only relevant thing I can think to add is that until last Monday I was sick with some bug that wasn’t Covid (or that tested negative for Covid using a home test) I was in bed a lot for two weeks, but started moving around on Monday.
- what tests should I have?
- what could cause this?
