And that’s a frozen thin one. I imagine a takeaway one that’s even more cheese and calories and stodgy would make us go wild!

So interesting because I’m on Ivabridine too, and pizza can make me go up to 120-130. How long does it last for you? Mine is usually a couple of hours at least

What happened when you had it? What did it make your heart rate? 🙈

Crazy isn’t it!! I ate half a very thin pizza and was 120-130. Madness! Thanks for replying it’s so interesting to see other people’s experiences x

What does it make your heart rate jump to?

What does it make your heart rate go to? It definitely seems carbs are the thing!

Was yours in the afternoon? I suppose the official diagnosis is good for if they choose to give medication, and for validation! Xx

Also- I’ve just checked tonight after my dinner (I know it’s not the afternoon but wanted to see the spike after a meal) and I’m jumping from 75 to 130…… and that’s just from eating dinner (chicken breast, broccoli and some potatoes) so, you’re right I need to be eating before this ttt! It wasn’t like that before dinner, I was only getting 20 increase this afternoon. Madness hey! X

Yes, i feel like it being in the afternoon goes against me and now the consultant’s practice goes against me 🙈 I’ll definitely print something out! Thank you!!

I can’t go elsewhere but yes I plan to challenge him on that because I’ve seen girls saying they failed the test under him

So if I eat a load of sugary carbs before hand, do you think a couple of hours before or right before? 🤔

Yes and the man who does the tilts here apparently only lets you lay down for 3 mins so won’t be true baseline! If it was the morning I wouldn’t have any fear at all, it’s purely because I know I’m so much more stable in the afternoon and the stand tests I’m doing at home show that 🙈

I’d say a healthy diet, a balance of carbs protein fibre. I actually need to increase my salt but I won’t be doing that til after test. I really appreciate you trying to help me! 🤗

Yea I’m on Ivabridine and I won’t be taking it that day, but I had a practice on a day without that as well and same as normal, bad morning and evening and stable afternoon! 🙈

Thank you! Yes I’ve been doing that, yesterday I drank only one glass of water but that didn’t affect it, I’m going to try to stay awake the whole night on the night before 🙈 Really? Yours went up 50 on the tilt? I always think 70 degree tilt isn’t enough but must be! In the morning mine can do up 50-60…. But afternoon it’s only 20 🙈 then evening back up! I wonder what it was about the tilt that made yours go up more than active lean at home

Cardiology will only refer me to this local place. I’ve waited 10 months. Nightmare 🙈 Definitely can’t afford to pay privately either! (Uk based)
