We hypothesized that orthostatic intolerance (OI) is associated with gastric dysrhythmias, nausea, and abdominal pain, which improves using fludrocortisone to treat OI.
Patients (n=16, girls) with OI completed questionnaires before and after fludrocortisone treatment (age 14.8 ± 2.8 years). Ten patients underwent electrogastrograms (EGGs) before fludrocortisone.
All EGGs showed gastric dysrhythmias. Fludrocortisone reduced mean scores as follows: nausea, 3.1 ± 0.8 to 2.1 ± 1.1 (P=0.016); dizziness, 3.0 ± 1.0 to 2.2 ± 1.1 (P=0.0371); abdominal pain, 2.8 ± 1.3 to 1.9 ± 1.4 (P=0.0063); flushing, 2.3 ± 1.2 to 1.5 ± 1.4 (P=0.0476); and missing school, 2.2 ± 1.5 to 1.2 ± 1.5 (P=0.0078).
Chronic nausea and abdominal pain accompany OI and improve with OI treatment.
我们推测体位性不耐受(OI)与胃节律紊乱、恶心和腹痛有关,使用氟氢可的松治疗OI可改善这些症状。
16例(均为女孩)患有OI的患者在接受氟氢可的松治疗前后完成问卷调查(年龄14.8±2.8岁)。10例患者在接受氟氢可的松治疗前进行了胃电图(EGG)检查。
所有EGG检查均显示胃节律紊乱。氟氢可的松使平均得分降低如下:恶心,从3.1±0.8降至2.1±1.1(P=0.016);头晕,从3.0±1.0降至2.2±1.1(P=0.0371);腹痛,从2.8±1.3降至1.9±1.4(P=0.0063);脸红,从2.3±1.2降至1.5±1.4(P=0.0476);缺课,从2.2±1.5降至1.2±1.5(P=0.0078)。
慢性恶心和腹痛与OI相伴,且随着OI的治疗而改善。
