I have an upcoming autonomic reflex test, and this nurse that is supposed to be answeing my questions is basically not reading what Im asking about my meds, and just giving me copy/paste answers over and over again.

This could ruin my test, and now Im afraid of taking ANYTHING because I dont know what is okay and what is not. Im puking and I have a major migraine.

Is there any way to make a complaint about those nurses that you talk to on the platform? Im stuck with this lady and I seriously feel like dying here

Guys, can anybody help me figuring out when and if I have to stop certain medications before the tests? I know they are doing the valsava and the tilt table. Im not sure what else they will do, but it will be at Mayo Clinic if that helps.

So, yes, I did ask them about all of my meds (I was already diagnosed with POTS, but mayo will offered a better test). The thing is, they sent me my list months ago, and my list grew longer recently. I asked about the newer meds and they are basically not addressing them (tbh I think they are just copying and pasting the previous one), so I dont know if or when I should stop them. On top of that, the first nurse said that I should stop taking any NSAIDs 24h before the test, and the new one didnt say anything about that.

I just want to have the right results, you know?

Anyways

My questions are:

1- Uberlvy and Nurtec - people who take those, did you guys stop taking them? If so, for how long?

2- NSAIDs?

3- Drinks like gatorade, when should I stop taking them? Do I even have to worry about these?

4- What did you guys eat in the 24h before the test? Im not talking about caffeine, Im more worried about the salt intake (or anything else that could affect the results, for that matter)
