Hi everyone. 47 yr old female - I have been in a long slow crash for the past two years with mainly neuro symptoms. Have reactivated EBV and Lyme in the past. I have super low c3 and c4 complements but so far no rheumy is diagnosing any autoimmune disease. I also have a history of antcardiolipin antibodies and now just found out I have antithyrogloublin antibodies.
But this post is about the autonomic dysfunction. I just had the ANSAR. Here are my results - can anyone help interpret- my neuro is foisting me off to an autonomic dr who I dont see for months....
-The resulting sympathetic to parasympathetic ratio was abnormal with a marked adrenergic predominance
-This patient has a paradoxical parasympathetic response to the sympathetic challenges of Valsalva and Standing
-Orthostasis and postural orthostatic tachycardia are indicated by this inappropriately decreased sympathetic response to standing as well as reflex tachycardia
-Patchy sweat test suggestive of small fiber axonal neuropathy
The report recommends treatment with centrally acting beta blockers such as Sectral or Coreg
Help!
