Find Answers for Unexplained Dizziness and Fainting
If you’ve been struggling with dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting spells when standing up, you’re not alone. Many South Africans experience these distressing symptoms without understanding why. Our SLC6A2 Gene Orthostatic Intolerance Test provides the clarity you need to take control of your health and find effective solutions.
Understanding Your Orthostatic Intolerance
Orthostatic intolerance occurs when your body struggles to maintain proper blood pressure and blood flow to your brain when you change positions. The SLC6A2 gene plays a vital role in regulating norepinephrine, a key hormone that controls blood pressure and heart rate. When this gene doesn’t function properly, it can lead to the symptoms you’re experiencing.
Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your SLC6A2 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying any mutations that might be causing your orthostatic symptoms. This isn’t just another test – it’s a pathway to understanding your body’s unique challenges.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Dizziness or lightheadedness when standing up
- Fainting or near-fainting episodes
- Rapid heartbeat when changing positions
- Chronic fatigue that worsens with standing
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating when upright
- Family history of similar symptoms
Many patients have found relief after understanding their genetic predisposition, allowing for targeted treatment approaches that actually work.
