How to prepare
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing for the appointment and potential tests.
- Maintain normal hydration but follow specific instructions regarding food and drink before a Tilt Table Test.
- Bring a complete list of all current medications, supplements, and vitamins.
- Be prepared to provide a detailed history of symptoms, including when they occur and for how long.
- You may be asked to temporarily stop certain medications before testing, but only under doctor's guidance.
Risks & possible complications
- During diagnostic tests like the Tilt Table Test, there is a risk of fainting, which is monitored in a controlled setting.
- Minor discomfort from blood pressure cuffs or intravenous lines used during monitoring.
- Anxiety or nervousness during the procedure.
- Very rarely, prolonged fainting during testing could lead to injury, though safety measures are in place.
- Note: The diagnostic process itself is low-risk; risks are primarily associated with the underlying condition if left untreated.
Recovery & hospital stay
- There is no surgical recovery; the 'recovery' involves implementing the management plan.
- Immediately after tests like the Tilt Table Test, you will rest until any dizziness subsides.
- Follow the cardiologist's prescribed plan, which may include increased salt/fluid intake, compression stockings, and specific exercises.
- Learn and practice techniques like counter-pressure maneuvers (leg crossing, squatting) to raise blood pressure when symptoms arise.
- Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor progress and adjust the treatment strategy as needed.

I'd been feeling off for months,...
I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
