I take the coldest shower I can stand. I have a shower chair. Baths scare me because my heart rate actually increases more in a bath than shower. I also keep the bathroom door open if I’m in a small bathroom, like hotel bathrooms so that any steam can escape. It’s the steam that gets the heart rate up. I found that out from a nurse in my 20’s when I went into a sauna at the gym. She and I were talking and I just mentioned I was lightheaded and she explained how steam gets the heart rate up. That’s why POTSies struggle so much in the south because it’s so stinking humid when you go outside.

Finally getting in with a cardiologist on Sunday June 18th after months of waiting because my PT misdiagnosed me. She said I didn’t have POTS because I didn’t have orthostatic hypotension. ( she thought they were the same thing ) Medical wild goose chase later, I demanded my PCP send me to the cardio and he did! >:) Finally getting properly tested so I can get diagnosed because if she knew what she was doing, I would’ve already been on my way to my old self again. Thanks a lot for ur videos and all the comments, I’ve felt so crazy and alone in this whole experience and this made me feel alot better ! ❤ Nothing but love for my POTS homies.

I was diagnosed with POTS back in 2013. I was fainting almost everyday sometimes 3 times a day. So my main focus at the time was just not fainting. Now I only faint once a year and I’m on meds for the fainting and heart rate. I still get pooling. I never got good with working out. I guess I should try to get back on that. I feel the pooling since the pandemic started mostly because I’m not moving as much as I did before. My goal for this coming year is taking better care of my POTS and maybe getting off meds 😊

i got a watch before i got diagnosed with POTS, it picked up my problem, and was fine on my best friend, tho the adults around me tho the watch was not correct because it was cheap, like 25 dollars US. turns out it was spot on. i used it to check my heart rate when i was symptomatic. recently i got slightly more expensive one, as i was going on a trip and wanted it to tell me if it was to high when standing in lines, which it really helped. its amazfit band 5 and if 40 dollars US. it has been great. im planing to upgrade to the fitbit sense as it can do a lot more for me, but the cheaper watches do the job perfectly fine. if your on a budget, the cheaper are great. the fitbit is 300 dollars, where the amazfit is 40 and worked perfectly fine for the job.

Yeah, it's frustrating that many doctors aren't familiar with POTS or dysautonomia. POTS can also be caused by uncommon disorders such as one of the 13 different types of Ehlers Danlos syndrome or other disorder that are poorly understood by most doctors, which only compounds the problems in getting properly diagnosed and treated. Vanderbilt in Tennessee has one of the best dysautonomia centers, if you're able to get there. Finding a specialist would be best, as they'd be up to date on the latest treatment options for POTS. Back in 1996 when I first began treatment for my symptoms, my doctors did the archaic method of just jacking my blood pressure up with Florinef. That caused a lot of other issues, and put my health at risk with severe hypertension. Current POTS treatment options that are safer and more effective include Ivabradine, Mestinon, Guanfacine, Clonidine, or a beta blocker. A dysautonomia specialist can work with you to find the treatment that works best for you.

How did you get dx with MS? They were in the process of dx me with MS but stopped when they concluded I had POTS. I’m just afraid I have something else causing the POTS since I don’t have anxiety, no neck injury or concussions, haven’t had COVID yet, etc. These seem to be main causes outside of a primary disease causing POTS. My right fingers, toes and face go tingly numb so this is why they suspected MS. Otherwise I don’t have any other typical MS symptoms like heavy legs.

Once I am standing up the clock starts ticking…I know when I am reaching my syncope limit. At that point sitting down does not help at all. I get a racing pulse….severe nausea and muscle cramps. It takes me a good 30 minutes with my legs elevated to even begin to feel normal again. I lose consciousness very quickly…my husband is so used to it…he just lays me down flat on the floor.😏 I went into town yesterday and it was +90° outside. I sat in a smoothie shop for about 30 minutes before walking to my truck. Once I got inside it was so hot, I had trouble breathing and blurry vision. I parked under a tree in the parking lot until my vision improved. My husband was in constant contact with me by phone and encouraged me to get in my back seat and raise my legs up. I have never had such a severe episode before. I think the severe heat exacerbated my symptoms. I got the only migraine I’ve had in the last six months after I got home and laid down. The headache lasted all night. 😣

@Hailey Medeiros Researchers have discovered different types of POTS and different possible causes. My POTS is associated with my hypermobile type Ehlers Danlos syndrome, a genetic condition which causes the collagen in my body to be weaker and more flexible. Blood vessels are made out of collagen, and the extra stretchiness causes vasospasms that lead to my POTS, migraines, Raynaud's, and other issues. I also have traits of hyperadrenergic POTS, which is caused by too much norepinephrine and adrenaline being dumped into circulation and oversensitivity of the alpha and beta adrenergic receptors. That's why beta blockers can help certain people. Since those only block the beta receptors, that treatment ignores the alpha receptors. The medications Clonidine or Guanfacine can work better to treat POTS in certain people, since they signal the body not to dump so much norepinephrine and adrenaline into circulation. These two medications treat hyperadrenergic POTS right at the source.
@Dulcimerist
@Dulcimerist 3 жыл бұрын
@Hailey Medeiros Definitely try to get in to see a geneticist to screen you for all collagen based disorders. You still might have hypermobile type Ehlers Danlos syndrome - look up the video by Izzy Kornblau on how to get diagnosed with hEDS, as she runs you through the criteria. Other disorders such as Marfan, Loeys Dietz, or Stickler syndrome could be possibilities. Non-medication options to help reduce POTS include putting on more leg muscle so you can tense up your leg muscle when you're dizzy so you can avoid fainting. Calf compression sleeves like marathon runners wear can also help. Sports drinks like Powerade or Gatorade can help. Hopefully your mom can warm up to the possibility of low doses of medication to manage the POTS. If you have the diagnosis of POTS and faint, be sure to tell them you have untreated POTS. Perhaps the paramedics or ER would give you intravenous saline, which can be a huge help for POTS patients. Some POTS patients even go to an infusion center to receive IV saline on a regular basis to manage their POTS symptoms. If you do find yourself able to speak with a medical professional with regard to POTS, perhaps you could ask for free medication samples to help manage your POTS to help prevent you from fainting and getting seriously injured, and mention that your mom won't pay for any medications you're prescribed. If your mom is open to over-the-counter health supplements, ParaSym Plus is a good OTC option to try for POTS. It helps the autonomic nervous system work properly.

The vagus nerve is in charge of the parasympathetic nervous system, which is in charge of digestion and other autonomic functions. Sometimes POTS can show up alongside gastroparesis or intestinal dysmotility or IBS-C. If this is the case, which is what I experienced, doctors will prescribe Mestinon to treat both the POTS and digestive issues, since it stimulates the vagus nerve and has shown to be an effective treatment for both issues. One medication to treat multiple health issues means a patient can be on fewer medications overall, which makes Mestinon an especially appealing treatment option.

@Odile Lalanne Researchers are suspecting an underlying mechanism of POTS that can be caused by EDS. The more severe cases of EDS that lead to Chiari or CCI/TOS with damage or pressure on the vagus nerve can lead to POTS.

In any case, my EDS specialist and dysautonomia specialist have listed my POTS as secondary to EDS.

A couple of medications which are sometimes prescribed off-label to treat PTSD - Clonidine and Guanfacine - are often prescribed to treat POTS. Both of those calm the sympathetic nervous system, which is in charge of the "fight or flight" response and is overactive in people who have hyperadrenergic POTS.

I have POTS and NCS. My doctor told me to drink 12-15 cups of liquid a day. But you should still consult with your doctor.

Sometimes the body can't absorb enough water through the digestive system, and it's common for doctors to prescribe IV saline infusions. It's usually about one liter every three to five weeks, and sometimes POTS patients only really need these during the hot months of summer.
