Summary

This trial is to study the effects of different drugs on people with a syndrome that causes symptoms like a fast heart rate, fatigue, and dizziness when standing up.

This trial is for young adults, especially females, who experience rapid heartbeat, fatigue, lightheadedness, and other symptoms when standing up (Orthostatic Intolerance). Participants must be able to give informed consent.
What is being tested?
The study aims to understand the causes of Orthostatic Intolerance by using cardiovascular physiological tests like DAXOR for blood volume measurement, QSweat for sweat production analysis, and checking intrinsic heart rate.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves diagnostic procedures rather than medications or invasive treatments, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort from testing equipment or minor reactions at sensor attachment sites.
