This blog might be of interest to you http://www.cortjohnson.org/blog/201...l-ischemia-key-pots-chronic-fatigue-syndrome/ especially the last paragraph which reads;Thanks to all who responded and hope I didn't get too off track from what the original poster was asking!
Am trying to figure out for severe dysautonomia where blood not going to lungs and heart when I try to stand and walk, if a "vascular study" would help assess & treat this or if I am totally misunderstanding and off track?
"It may be that your next bout of transient ischemia, which can show up as pain, pallor, tingling and other symptoms is simply the next part of your body you put under stress. Ischemia may be occurring in your muscles when you exercise, in your brain when you think hard and if the Workwell researchers are right, in your lung muscles when you breathe hard" i.e. the problem could be one of oxygen extraction rather than vascular perfusion.
The Workwell Foundation's cardiopulmonary exercise testing, as part of their ME/CFS research, might be something e to consider. http://www.workwellfoundation.org/testing-for-disability/
