PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Average systolic blood pressure of 10 minutes supine rest before pyridostigmine and after 45 minutes at 45 degrees after pyridostigmine administration compared to 10 minutes supine rest before tilt and at 45 degrees during no-drug head-up tilt maneuver.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Pyridostigmine Bromide
n=10 Participants
After being transferred onto a tilt table, subject will lie in a rested, supine position in which the study drug, pyridostigmine bromide will be administered at the 30 minute time point. Following the administration of the study drug, the subject will remain in the supine position for an additional 30 minutes until the tilting protocol commences.
NO Drug
n=10 Participants
Following the 60 minute resting position, a progressive head-up tilt will be utilized in which the table will be adjusted to 15°, 25°, 35° for 5 minutes at each angle and then maintained at 45° for 45 minutes or until the subjects experiences symptoms of compromised cerebral blood flow, which include, but are not limited to, light headedness, blurry vision, dizziness and nausea.
