I'm not sure if I have had autonomic testing. One time my doctor's nurse took my blood pressure while I was sitting, the had me stand up and took it again. I wondered if she was checking for OI. However, I though you were supposed to stand for a while for that and she took it as soon as I stood up.

I have very minor OI symptoms. If I do not stay well-hydrated, I may get light-headed. I may also get light-headed if I stand still very long after I first get up.
