Copper deficiency and autonomic dysfunction
My son has had fatigue and orthostatic hypotension for years but over the past year he has become much worse with constant flairs of muscle pain and weakness, blood pressure drops, heat and cold intolerance, and near fainting episodes. He has terrible brain fog and is mostly house bound having to lay down or recline most of the time. His Tilt table test had to be stopped early because his blood pressure dropped too low to safely continue. The only thing abnormal on his blood tests is low copper and low Ceruloplasm. Six months of copper supplements have done nothing. His levels just dropped more. He has not ever taken zinc supplements. He has an appointment with genetics next week. I’m curious if anyone else had autonomic symptoms like this with a copper deficiency and if so, how did you recover?
