My first visit to a neurologist resulted in a referral for a tilt table test. It's tomorrow.
I just want to avoid any permanent problems that could occur. From what little I've read here on PR, it's when they give a medication during the test that you could be in danger of serious after-effects. Would that be right?
The instructions say not to eat anything after 11:00 am, and the test is at 3:00. Unfortunately, I am going to have to ignore that, since I've got chronic ravenous hunger (hypoglycemia or autonomic problems with appetite hormones). I seriously doubt that I would vomit if my last food was 2 hours before. I never can eat much at a time, anyway.
Please tell me if you can think of an objection to my plan. I am having to travel 2 hours for this. That will be enough of a struggle, without the hypoglycemia, etc.
