Professor David Jones spoke a little about this autonomic disfunction recently on a Q and A session from the pbc foundation - mostly relating fatigue to dizziness on standing and how drinking water -2l before 2pm can help. But prob best is to pose your question to the pbc foundation and they will ask one of their medical advisors at an online Q and A.

My gp is currently trying to get the full picture to add it on my referral as my old gp left it out and I guess thats why im still eaiting for an appointmnet since april. I collapsed with an ischemic bowel bleed too which was also left off my referral. Hopefully my new gp will get me the appointment. Thanks for replying

That sounds really exhausting to deal with — blood pressure swings and a racing heart on top of everything else PBC brings. Unfortunately, autonomic dysfunction, nocturnal hypertension, and daytime tachycardia aren't topics covered in the available PBC-specific resources here, so it wouldn't be right to guess at advice on Show Full Answer

Unfortunately, autonomic dysfunction, nocturnal hypertension, and daytime tachycardia aren't topics covered in the available PBC-specific resources here, so it wouldn't be right to guess at advice on something this important.

The best step would be to raise these specific symptoms with your hepatologist or a cardiologist who is aware of your PBC diagnosis. They can look at the full picture and make sure any treatment doesn't interfere with your liver health.
