Your doctor is most likely correct. It can be manageable and those who regularly exercise if they are able to seem to be better off. Doctors vary in the terms they call this, dysautonomia, orthostatic hypotension, Nuero Cardiogenic Syncope, POTS depending on your reactions during tilt table testing, ie what your blood pressure and heart rate do. Unfortunately, many people get blown off as having anxiety when there is really other issues going on. If your not comfortable with a diagnosis always get a second opinion and be your own advocate as there are a lot of symptoms that can relate to many different diagnosis - sometimes it is a process of elimination.

This web site is not a substitute for a thorough medical evaluation and diagnosis of your vaso-vagal type symptoms.  Medical treatment and diagnosis is the only acceptable initial response to these serious symptoms since they might present from any number of life threatening and treatable illnesses. It is for you and your physician to rule out more serious illnesses; Please don't use this online forum as an alternative to getting responsible medical attention and being under the care of a physician for the duration of any unknown, suspected or dangerous vaso-vagal syndrome symptoms.
