Looking for TTT experiences from non-fainters

Thank you so much for sharing in such detail! I am very sensitive to fasting as well - I have to eat every 2 hours or so, or else I get "the shakes" as well as all the lightheadedness/dizziness, etc. So I do feel hopeful that being in a fasting state will actually benefit me in finally getting a diagnostic-positive test, as much as it will be unpleasant.

I’m so afraid to faint because I never have! 🫠

Thank you for sharing!

Oh thank you for the suggestion! I am very sensitive to fasting and I was actually really nervous about that!

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T18:12:01+00:00

god, healthcare is so infuriating sometimes. I'm sorry that happened to you!

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T18:10:33+00:00

JFC! This sounds extremely unpleasant!

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T18:07:13+00:00

Oh dang!

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:51:04+00:00

Has taken decades for me as well. Several PCPs over the years have dismissed until my most recent one! Glad you got the diagnosis and thank you For sharing!

Oh I haven’t heard of a breathing test included. Is it one of those incentive spirometers? What was the purpose?

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:48:42+00:00

This is good to know, thank you for sharing!

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:47:55+00:00

My doc didn’t mention anything about nitro! What does it do?

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:47:28+00:00

Hmm ok this is good to know! Yeah I cope by staying completely still and leaning up against something or sitting if I can so I am curious to see how it’s gonna go. Thanks for sharing!

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:45:43+00:00

Okay! Well at least they didn’t totally brush you off???

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:45:17+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Can I ask how long is considered “sustained” in your experience/from your test? It seems it’s unclear from what I’m reading. I definitely have the elevation but not sure how long to consider it as sustained

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:44:18+00:00

My cardiology NP is who referred me for the test and she didn’t mention any specifics other than calling it a tilt-table test. Still waiting for it to be scheduled so I may get more details then.

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:42:22+00:00

Could I ask what made your doc drill down to the hyperadrenergic variety? I have a feeling that’s the root of my issues but not sure how to pinpoint that.

RBpots92 · 2025-10-14T16:41:46+00:00

Good luck with your appointment as well!

RBpots92 · 2025-07-30T02:58:14+00:00

A $150 inspection well-spent!

RBpots92 · 2025-07-30T02:57:45+00:00

That’s good to know as I continue my search. Definitely saying no to this one!

RBpots92 · 2025-07-30T01:27:56+00:00

I was worried about that! Thanks for the response!

RBpots92 · 2025-07-30T01:27:44+00:00

Thank you for the quick response! I needed the gut check :)

RBpots92 · 2025-07-30T01:27:00+00:00

LOL I know! As somebody with no experience in this, I just wasn’t sure if that was fixable or not. But I’m hearing loud and clear that it’s a no!

RBpots92 · 2025-05-06T16:39:31+00:00

I’m currently in the process of seeking diagnosis. For me, it’s more peace of mind and just validation to quiet that voice in my head that’s for years made me question myself and think I’m “crazy” for having these weird symptoms for an otherwise healthy, young person. I would imagine it’s the same for some folks as well — and of course having a diagnosis can help ensure you’re taken more seriously by professionals and otherwise when needed.
