Who is this surgery for?
- Recurrent episodes of fainting (syncope) or near-fainting (presyncope).
- Unexplained dizziness, lightheadedness, or orthostatic hypotension (blood pressure drop upon standing).
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) or lack of sweating (anhidrosis).

- Heart rate abnormalities (tachycardia, bradycardia) not explained by cardiac causes.
- Temperature regulation problems, such as intolerance to heat or cold.

How to prepare
- Provide a detailed medical history, including all current medications, especially those affecting blood pressure or heart rate.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing to the appointment.
- Follow specific instructions regarding fasting or medication adjustments before certain autonomic tests (e.g., tilt table test).
- Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and heavy meals for several hours before testing as advised.
- Be prepared to discuss all symptoms in detail, including their triggers and patterns.
Risks & possible complications
- Discomfort or anxiety during certain provocative tests (e.g., tilt table test may induce fainting).
- Minor bruising or irritation at electrode or sensor sites for tests like sweat testing.
- Dizziness, nausea, or palpitations triggered by the testing procedures, which are typically transient.
- Rarely, more serious cardiac events during testing in patients with severe, undiagnosed heart conditions.
- The primary "risk" is often the potential for inconclusive test results, requiring further investigation.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Most diagnostic tests are outpatient procedures with no specific recovery period; patients can usually resume normal activities immediately.
- If a test like a tilt table study causes fainting, rest and hydration are recommended until symptoms fully resolve.
- Post-diagnosis, recovery focuses on managing the condition through prescribed treatments, lifestyle modifications, and physical therapy.
- Follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment plan and adjust medications.
- Long-term management may include dietary changes, increased fluid and salt intake (if advised), compression garments, and paced activity.

Had my gallbladder out last week....
Had my gallbladder out last week. The surgery itself was fine, but the first two days after were rough. Dr. Madhumitha was really on top of my pain meds, adjusting them a few times until it was manageable. She checked on me every morning and evening at MGM, which helped a lot. I'm home now and the recovery is going okay, just taking it slow.
