Dr David Bell has written some great info on OI. <a href="http://aboutmecfs.org/Trt/TrtOIBellTest.aspx">http://aboutmecfs.org/Trt/TrtOIBellTest.aspx</a></p>

"Indications of orthostatic intolerance
- Orthostatic systolic hypotension (low blood pressure): fall in systolic blood pressure of 20 mmHg or more
- Orthostatic diastolic hypotension (low blood pressure): fall in diastolic BP of 10 mm Hg or more.
- Orthostatic diastolic hypertension (high blood pressure): rise in diastolic BP to 98 mm Hg or higher
- Orthostatic narrowing of pulse pressure: reduction in pulse pressure to 18 mm Hg or lower.
- Orthostatic postural tachycardia (increased heart rate): increase in heart rate of 28 bpm or to greater than 110 b/min."</p>

Some echoecardiograms include a bubble injection. They just use a solution with air bubbles injected in your arm, then you cough, and it can show abnormalities at the time that you cough</p>
