I have presyncope episodes for the past three years. Is it a tumor or MS?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Over the past three years, I have random and progressively worsening presyncope episode, and I just feel lightheaded in general. I have had a normal EEG and a normal 14 day Holter monitor. An electrophysiologist said I have dysautonomia. Is it possible to have missed a tumor or MS? Please give your opinion.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern and would explain that it is less likely that your symptoms are caused by MS (multiple sclerosis) or a tumor. I agree with what your doctor said. Low blood pressure or orthostatic hypotension can cause such a clinical situation. For this reason, I recommend performing a head-up tilt test. I would also recommend performing a brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) to put your mind at peace about MS. I am sure that the result will be normal. I recommend you closely monitor your blood pressure values. Please get back if you have further doubts.
