Hi,

I'm hoping someone might be able to give some feedback on anything similar.

I've been ill since last September. It's pretty much ruined my life. I've been unable to go on honeymoon, holidays have been ruined, caused work issues, etc. Seemed to start with something with all the symptoms of a very bad panic attack, yet never recovered.

Had so many blood tests, colonoscopy, capsule endoscopy, gastroscopy, etc. One of the more recent things they are looking at is POTS.

I had a tilt table test last Wednesday, and just after they tilted me I started to feel awful, very much like a panic attack. Afterwards I was shaking and they had to get a doctor. The next day I had very long waves (Several hours at least) of nausea. The nausea is so strong that I've felt so so so close to actually being sick. The most nauseous I've felt since this all started last September.

Could this be a coincidence or has anyone else had similar lasting for a while after a tilt table test?

I know several people who had the exact same reaction.
Makes me hope I never have to have one.
Hope you feel better soon.

What bothers me is that it's been five days now since and still having the very strong waves of nausea.

Feels too coincidental not to be the tilt table test given it all started after it, but I don't understand why it would cause me to feel this bad for five days after!
