How Is Dysautonomia Tested?
Dysautonomia involves the autonomic nervous system, which helps regulate heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, temperature, and other automatic body functions.
Testing by a cardiologist may include heart-rate and blood-pressure measurements, active standing assessments, or tilt-table testing. Some individuals have already completed these evaluations and received a diagnosis, while others are just beginning to investigate their symptoms. *Note: You do not have to see or be seeing a cardiologist before seeing Alane.
At Nutritionally Yours, Alane reviews your symptoms, health history, and existing test results (if you have) to identify opportunities for additional functional laboratory testing involving the immune and nervous system. Her approach explores potential contributing factors and helps develop a more complete picture of your health.
When additional diagnostic evaluation is appropriate, she can help coordinate a referral while continuing to support your functional health goals.
How Can Blood Testing Help
Investigate Dysautonomia Symptoms?
Blood testing can provide valuable information about health factors that may contribute to or overlap with dysautonomia symptoms.
Alane uses comprehensive and specialized functional laboratory testing to explore areas such as immune activity, nervous system health, nutrient status, metabolic function, and other relevant concerns.
For individuals already diagnosed with POTS or dysautonomia, this additional information may help explain why certain symptoms continue and identify areas to address through personalized care.
Our functional laboratory testing complements the clinical evaluation used to diagnose autonomic disorders.
Advanced Neuroimmune Testing With Neural Zoomer
Your nervous system and immune system are closely connected. In some individuals, immune activity may be an important part of understanding persistent neurological and autonomic symptoms.
Alane offers access to advanced neuroimmune testing, which measures antibodies associated with specific brain and nervous system structures.
These results can provide additional information about your immune reactivity and help guide further evaluation, especially when symptoms include dizziness, brain fog, weakness, tingling, vomiting, fainting, nerve pain, or other neurological concerns.
Combined with your health history, previous testing, and additional functional laboratory findings, Neuro-Immune testing can be one part of developing a more individualized plan for your health.
Advanced Functional Testing for Dysautonomia Symptoms
Dysautonomia can involve multiple systems throughout the body. Understanding your individual health picture may involve exploring nervous system function, immune activity, nutritional status, metabolic health, and other factors.
Alane offers specialized functional laboratory testing, including advanced neuroimmune testing that evaluates certain antibodies associated with the brain and nervous system.
Depending on your symptoms and health history, she may also recommend additional blood, urine, or other specialized testing to investigate potential contributing factors.
By bringing these findings together, Alane develops personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness recommendations designed to support your individual health needs.
POTS Testing: Is It Different from Dysautonomia Testing?
Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a form of dysautonomia associated with symptoms that occur when standing, including changes in heart rate, dizziness, fatigue, and exercise intolerance.
POTS evaluation commonly involves monitoring heart rate and blood pressure during standing or tilt-table testing.
Whether you’ve already completed this testing or are still investigating your symptoms, Alane can help you explore additional functional health factors that may be contributing to your POTS symptoms.
Her approach brings together your health history, existing results, and individualized laboratory testing to help identify opportunities for personalized support.
What If My Dysautonomia Tests Are Normal
But I Still Have Symptoms?
You may have already completed regular bloodwork, cardiovascular testing, or other evaluations and still be experiencing dizziness, fatigue, rapid heart rate, brain fog, or digestive concerns.
This is where additional functional testing can offer another perspective and dig deeper into root causes and the best protocol to help you.
Alane reviews your previous results alongside your symptoms and health history to explore areas that may benefit from further investigation, including neuroimmune activity, nutritional status, metabolic function, and other health factors.
Together, these findings can help guide a personalized approach focused on understanding your symptoms and identifying meaningful next steps.
Why Can Dysautonomia Be So Complicated?
Dysautonomia rarely fits neatly into a single symptom or box.
One person may primarily experience dizziness and heart-rate changes.
Another may struggle with digestive problems, temperature regulation, fatigue, and exercise intolerance.
Someone else may have several diagnoses and symptoms that overlap.
With Alane’s background in functional neurology and experience working with complex and chronic health concerns, she evaluates how different aspects of your health may be connected.
Her approach brings together your symptoms, medical history, laboratory findings, and individual health goals to develop personalized recommendations that support your overall well-being.
Already Diagnosed with POTS or Dysautonomia?
A diagnosis can be an important step toward understanding your symptoms. The next step is exploring the health factors that may be contributing to how you feel.
If you’ve already seen a cardiologist, completed a tilt-table test, or started treatment, Alane can help you investigate additional aspects of your health through individualized functional testing. Her goal is to get to the root cause of your symptoms and put on the right protocol to help elevate your symptoms and improve the quality of your life.
She reviews any existing test results, symptoms, nutritional status, and health history to determine what additional information may be helpful.
With advanced laboratory testing and personalized recommendations, Nutritionally Yours offers a supportive approach for individuals who want to better understand their health and explore their next steps.
