Do I Have Dysautonomia Quiz

Questions: 15 · 10 minutes
1. What digestive pattern have you experienced recently?
I have not had a recurring pattern of unexplained digestive symptoms.
I occasionally have early fullness, nausea, bloating, constipation, or diarrhea.
One or more of these symptoms recur, cluster with my other symptoms, or interfere with eating and hydration.
I cannot keep fluids down, show signs of serious dehydration, have severe abdominal pain, or notice blood in vomit or stool.
2. Following a regular meal, which pattern best matches your experience?
Meals do not bring a consistent change in these symptoms.
A large meal occasionally makes me mildly sleepy, warm, or lightheaded.
Meals repeatedly trigger marked dizziness, racing heartbeat, weakness, nausea, or a need to recline.
A meal-related episode has involved fainting, severe breathing trouble, confusion, or inability to remain safely upright.
3. In conditions that other people find comfortable, how does your body handle temperature?
I generally remain comfortable and regulate temperature as expected.
I occasionally feel unusually hot or cold, but it passes without changing my plans.
I repeatedly overheat or become very cold and need active cooling, warming, or rest.
Temperature exposure has brought confusion, collapse, inability to cool down, or another sudden severe reaction.
4. What happens to the color or temperature of your hands and feet?
I do not notice unexplained or persistent changes.
They occasionally become unusually cold, pale, red, or blotchy and soon return to normal.
These changes recur, last for a while, or occur alongside my other symptoms.
A hand or foot has become suddenly blue, extremely pale, severely painful, numb, or unusually cold and stayed that way.
5. When physical symptoms are active, how is your concentration affected?
I do not notice a symptom-linked change in concentration.
I occasionally need a little more time to think or finish a task.
I repeatedly lose track of conversations, reading, or tasks and need to stop or rest.
I have become suddenly confused, disoriented, unable to stay alert, or unable to function safely.
6. How do you usually respond to ordinary physical activity such as climbing stairs or walking briskly?
I can usually complete it without unexplained symptoms or prolonged recovery.
I occasionally need a short extra rest because of mild symptoms.
I repeatedly experience disproportionate pounding, dizziness, weakness, or exhaustion and need extended recovery.
Activity has caused fainting, chest pain, severe breathing trouble, or another sudden severe symptom.
7. Imagine waiting in a standing line for 10 to 20 minutes. What is most typical for you?
I can usually stand that long without relevant symptoms.
I may become mildly uncomfortable but can remain standing.
I often need to shift, lean, sit, or leave because symptoms build.
Standing that long can make me collapse, nearly faint, or become unable to stay safely upright.
8. Which statement best describes changes in urination or bladder control?
I have not noticed an unexplained change in bladder function.
I occasionally experience urgency, hesitancy, or needing to urinate more often than expected.
These changes recur, disturb sleep, or make planning daily activities difficult.
I have been unable to urinate despite a painful full bladder, or had a sudden bladder change with new weakness or numbness.
9. Over the past several weeks, how have these symptoms changed your work, study, caregiving, exercise, or social plans?
They have not required changes to my usual activities.
I have made occasional small adjustments, such as taking an extra break.
I repeatedly shorten, postpone, or avoid activities because of symptoms or recovery time.
I cannot reliably complete essential activities, or symptoms have made an activity immediately unsafe.
10. When you are upright, how does your heartbeat usually feel compared with when you are resting flat?
I do not notice an unusual posture-related change.
I occasionally notice brief pounding or speeding that settles easily.
My heart repeatedly races or pounds while upright and improves after sitting or lying down.
The heartbeat change occurs with fainting, chest pain, or severe trouble breathing.
11. How often does standing bring dimmed vision, spots in your vision, muffled hearing, or a sense that you may black out?
Standing does not bring these experiences.
One of these happens occasionally and passes quickly.
These experiences recur and make me stop, sit, or seek support.
They have progressed to loss of consciousness, a fall, an injury, or a sudden severe episode.
12. If dizziness, weakness, or a racing heartbeat occurs while you are upright, what happens when you lie down?
I do not experience this posture-linked pattern.
Lying down sometimes helps a mild episode, though the pattern is uncommon.
Lying down repeatedly brings clear relief from symptoms that return when I get up.
I must lie down immediately to avoid losing consciousness, or I have lost consciousness during an episode.
13. Which description best fits your sweating, apart from expected sweating during heat or exercise?
I have not noticed an unusual sweating pattern.
I occasionally sweat more or less than expected in a limited area or situation.
I repeatedly sweat heavily without a clear reason or barely sweat when hot, and it affects what I do.
Abnormal sweating or lack of sweating has occurred with overheating, confusion, fainting, or collapse.
14. After you rise from lying or sitting, what most closely matches your experience during the next few minutes?
I do not become lightheaded, unsteady, or faint after rising.
I occasionally feel briefly lightheaded, but can continue without support.
I repeatedly need to pause, hold onto something, or sit back down.
I have nearly fainted, fainted, fallen, or been injured after rising.
15. After a warm shower, hot day, or time in a heated room, what is most typical?
Heat does not trigger a relevant symptom pattern for me.
I occasionally feel mildly drained, lightheaded, or uncomfortable but recover quickly.
Heat repeatedly triggers marked dizziness, racing heartbeat, weakness, nausea, or a need to lie down.
Heat has led to fainting, confusion, collapse, or an inability to cool down.
