Is there anyone else out there who has AS and autonomic dysfunction, and/or cardiac issues?

I'm curious to see if there is any connection to the various conditions that I deal with. Is there anyone else out there who has AS and autonomic dysfunction, and/or cardiac issues, or did I just get the luck of the draw 😉?

  1. No, I also suffer from cardiac issues and that fought and still fighting to be treated!

    1. Oh wow so sorry I hope you can get treated soon cardiac issues is nothing to play with they should be treating you. In 2021 I developed PVC’s and had to undergo cardiac ablation it was awful, my heart hasn’t felt the same since. Wishing you all the best keep fighting for treatment.

  2. Hello,

    You can read more about the symptoms of AS here: https://ankylosingspondylitis.net/symptoms/

    Long story short, AS can really affect any part of the body! I have had some mild cardiac issues but I don't know if they were related to AS or not.

    All the best to you!

    1. I had SVT and had an ablation in 2013. I was also diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse with regurgitation in 2009. 8 months ago I had Open Heart Mitral Valve Repair.

  3. I do not have autonomic dysfunction, but I do have cardiac issues.
