I'd say this is highly unlikely. However if you read the list of symptoms used to diagnose anxiety, there is nearly 100% overlap with the symptoms of dysautonamia. The one symptom which is somewhat unique to anxiety is actually feeling anxious. But a lot of practitioners are going into "you don't really know how you feel" mode, and telling patients that they're in denial about their anxious feelings. Similarly, having undiagnosed dysautonomia is likely to result in some anxiety when it hits, though the anxiety would be following the associated symptoms, not triggering them.I've not been able to keep up with this thread, or read the things people are linking to, so may be misunderstanding their points, but it could be a genetic predisposition towards something like POTS also means that someone has a greater chance of a genetic predisposition towards some form of anxiety.
It's sloppy psych diagnostics, not a high rate of co-morbidity.
Nice try, leetle Care Bear!(I think that I'm out of this thread now - not able to keep up with it and Tuller news. Sorry if it seems that I'm being rude, posting into a heated discussion and then running off).
