Do I have dysautonomia?

Hello everyone I am a 14 year old female. I was recently admitted to the hospital & got told I have vasovagal syncope. I was supposed to get a table tilt test but my hospital can't do it on pediatrics. Anyways I was wondering if my symptoms match those of dysautonomia. My symptoms are: headaches (really bad), nausea/vomiting, light headedness, ringing in the ears, sometimes I have trouble breathing but it's only sometimes. I have problems with balance. I have memory problems. I'm forgetful. I get numb tingly feet, hands arms & legs. & I think the last one is concentration problems.

All of your symptoms are the same ones my son had/has.  He has POTS.  You need to find a specialist who has knowledge about the autonomic nervous system/dysautonomia's.  

Like the post above Dinet.org is a very good website with a very active forum.

I can't begin to imagine what you are going through as a teen and having these bizarre symptoms.  I am 56 and can no longer work due to spinal disorders, surgeries, and what I think is some form of dysautonomia, also.There is a website:dinet.org,that is helpful and a doctor in Pensacola FL who has POST and runs The Center for Autonomic Disorders, Prayers and blessings to you in your search for knowledge and help, my dear!
