A member asked:

Feeling so dizzy... i have autonomic dysfunction, what can i do to help it? this is a flare up

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Dizziness: If possible you should check yourself for low blood pressure and slow heart rate., especially in the standing position. If you're unable to do so, consult a physician. In the meantime, avoid getting upright quickly. There are measures to treat postural hypotension(low blood pressure).
