[QUOTE="SarahTee, post: 2440437, member: 518070"] Thanks, Lamont D., I will have a look at those threads. And thank you for asking after me. Originally I was looking at whether I had RH or orthostatic intolerance (a type of dysautonomia that causes fatigue, blood pooling in abdomen after meals, faintness, exercise intolerance, irritability, lightheadedness). GPs had nothing to offer, so I decided to pursue the orthostatic intolerance (OI) route. Well, a long time later, I have been referred to a dysautonomia specialist and tried quite a few treatments, but no firm improvement seen. It’s hard to test for dysautonomia at the best of times, but right now the specialist is only doing telehealth and testing is not possible. I am starting to wonder if it is my blood sugar after all. Recently I had to have a fasting blood test, and didn’t eat for three hours that morning. My symptoms were much less that day, which reminded me of Brunneria skipping breakfast and feeling better for it. There seem to be a lot of common symptoms between RH (or postprandial syndrome) and OI/dysautonomia until you get into testing and the nitty gritty of it. I have a BGM and my after-meal energy slumps and bad symptoms seem to coincide with low 4s. Not low enough for RH, but maybe postprandial syndrome. So I am trying diet changes again and will see new GP to ask him to look at everything again. Phew, long story! [/QUOTE]
