Hello,
I have been diagnosed with Neurocardiogenic syncope secondary to an autonomic decompensation syndrome.
I fully understand the term, neurocardiogenic syncope(NCS). Would like your help in understanding the term: Autonomic decompensation syndrome.
I have had NCS for over 3yrs. Does the above mean that my primary Dx is autonomic decompensation syndrome and secondary DX is NCS?
When I have an episode I lose my BP first, then my HR follows. My Episodes are not position related. The episode is quickly resolved with my BP & HR going back to normal. I have tried various meds. for this condition, including Proamatine. THe meds. that have been the most effective for me are, Paxil and Wellbutrin....I take both. I am a well documented case for NCS.
If you could please explain the autonomic decompensation syndrome, I would be most grateful....
If you have the time to answer another question......would a pacemaker help me, knowing that I lose my BP first during an episode?
Thanks so much,
Speck
