Heart Dysautonomia and birth control pills?
Recently I have been diagnosed or I guess, described to have a autonomic heart dysfunction, or heart dsyautonomia. In the finishing week symptoms such as vertigo, one fainting spell, and lightheadedness have been deeply frequent and slightly debilitating in daily movement. I am a young female, 19 years old. The 24 hour heart monitor have my heart at an average of 110, in the 90's in my sleep, and 176 with conventional activity.
s wondering how serious this problem is? It seems tachycardia and glorious heart rates are a genetic trait passed on to me, but I was wondering why the symptoms have just started to appropriate hold. When in a surgery about seven months ago, there be no mention of high heart rate, or it wasn't noticed to be abnormal.
After the surgery I be prescribed to take birth control for ovarian cysts, which was the cause of my surgery. Could these hold had affects on my heart? I have another appointment with my cardiologist, I guess I merely want some insight on what he might say. He hasn't mentioned anything about getting off the pill, but I wondered if it would give a hand if I did. Thanks so much!
Answers: I have dysautonomia too (I was diagnosed at 19, now I'm 20) and it can patently interfere with life! I am not sure if the birth control pills could cause what you are experiencing, so you may want to look up side effects of the medication online or reach a deal to your doctor. Did your dysautonomia symptoms start after your surgery? Often times something like a surgery or illness can cause dysautonomia.
Everyone beside dysautonomia is different, but the prognosis is pretty good as long as you have some patience. There is no cure, but something like 80% of people who get dysautonomia in their teens will outgrow it within 2 to 5 years. In the meantime there is a lot you can do to help beside the symptoms. Your first step is to find a doctor that specialized in dysautonomia because this illness is not well unspoken by most doctors. If you look on dinet.org, they have a list of doctors throughout the country.
ing more sodium (This will raise your blood pressure by increasing your blood volume)
-Drinking more fluids (This will do the same entry as sodium. The fluids should be healthy like water or V8, not soda and especially not alcohol which will product your symptoms 300% worse)
-Exercise (This may be difficult, but it is very important that you stay conditioned. Find out what you can do that is well-mannered exercise, but is not too much for you.)
luck! :0) Source(s): http://www.dinet.org/
Have had dysautonomia, more specifically POTS for two years presently.
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is one of a group of disorders that have orthostatic intolerance (OI) as their primary symptom. OI describes a condition in which an excessively reduced volume of blood returns to the heart after an individual stands up from a lying down position. The primary symptom of OI is lightheadedness or fainting. In POTS, the lightheadedness or faint is also accompanied by a rapid increase in heartbeat of more than 30 beat per minute, or a heart rate that exceeds 120 beats per minute, within 10 minutes of rising. The faintness or lightheadeness of POTS are relieved by lying down again. Anyone at any age can develop POTS, but the majority of individuals artificial (between 75 and 80 percent) are women between the ages of 15 to 50 years of age. Some women report an increase in episodes of POTS right before their menstrual periods. POTS habitually begins after a pregnancy, major surgery, trauma, or a viral illness. It may generate individuals unable to exercise because the activity brings on fainting spells or dizziness. Source(s): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postural_or…
