Janie and everyone-
I believe that hypotension is connected to the TM, as spinal cord "injuries"
frequently involve the autonomic nervous system. My neuro also ran all of the
cardiac testing on me, to make sure it wasn't my heart and all they found was
a mitral valve heart murmer.They also did the pulmonary function workup, which
was normal. I find that when my B/P is on it's way down, I begin to get short
of breath?!? My neuro said that this may be the beginning of a panic
reaction, as the heart speeds up to compensate for the low blood pressure and
you begin to panic?!? Maybe so. . who knows! Anyone else with this
response? Thanks! Laura
