I would opt for a sequence of tilt table tests (the gold standard), at varying times of the day and levels of activity. Then find some tolerance intervals in the literature (or the data) to do an analysis. This kind of thing would probably necessitate some research lab setting or developing your own expertise. It may be a transient thing which is difficult to catch. Alternatively, you could try some treatment.

Hi Carey, thank you for the response.
I was tested last month for orthostatic hypotension in the hospital on the second and third day. I was not very active at all there, and I had a discussion very similar to your comments with two doctors, and they repeated that the test was negative several times (plus one was not happy that I even knew the term.)
I have had periods of time where I'm more mobile than others, but the effect seems to remain with the heart issues, it goes from PAC to PVCs and then very little fibrillation. I've taken advantage of having less symptoms on certain days, but the reality is that the symptoms are pretty regular. According to the Kardia, and reviews by my doctor, there is some fibrillation there, and he can't understand "why my exercise tolerance is so low." In this case, "exercise" means getting up to use the bathroom.
I have a cuff and now I've been taking BP regularly and when I feel like there is a change. It varies widely, from 90/70 one morning to 130/110 on other mornings.
Its a big mess honestly, but thank you for helping.
