Whats the diagnosis and treatment?

Most likely vasovagal syncope no treatment needed

@@dominicdigginnursingstuden7833 why would no treatment be needed?

@@dominicdigginnursingstuden7833 what's that?

Scary

im almost 15 and going to the doctors tomorrow for it did they say it had to be over 40bpm and sustained or just 30bpm

@@aepstcrs717how did it go mate?

@@aosozoxoco im currently in the process of getting diagnosed for it i've done the ecg which is fine, but my blood tests came back with low iron and vitamin b12 so i have to wait 4 more weeks now until i can get them done again to see if i still feel the same even with normal levels which is frustrating but it is what it is

I think I have it. My doctor checked my blood pressure and it matches the poTs one .. it barely changed but my heart rate rises by about 60

They haven’t told me I’ve had it yet I have another appointment though

Could be Sinus Tachycardia and not POTS

@@laurennicl94 that would include an abnormally high resting rate though. For my height/weight/activity level my resting heart rate is within the norm

I'm looking into this currently

I got diagnosed with pots around the same time, i did end up passing out after the medicine so i missed most of the hard part but still i agree. it seems trivial if you don't have any health problems but i wouldn't wish a tilt table test on my worst enemy if they actually have a condition its trying to test for.

@@averybertram9832 I had mine this morning because I fainted for 3 seconds 15 months ago. My license got taken away and now I’m doing all these stupid tests. Agreed it was an horrendous experience and totally unnatural stance and experiment. I didn’t faint or feel dizzy but the discomfort and tightness of the straps was too much so I gave up after 20 mins. A ridiculous test and not natural at all.

How did it go?

How did it go.....2 years ago lol

How did your test good? I'm getting mine done tomorrow willing.

I know! "Am I supposed to pass out?"

in November 2019 i was told i had PoTs. the only test i had done was an active stand test and a blood test (i had a 24 hour heart and blood pressure monitor but the doctor never got given the results). the first time i saw him he was CONVINCED it was anxiety and that it was all in my head

@@beccaj5745 how are you now sister

How are you now? Was the TTT done?

@@moonlover9671 yes the TTT was done. I felt like utter shit doing it but it came back inconclusive. However I did still get my official diagnosis when I had a two week heart monitor that picked up all of my heart rate inconsistencies

May I ask, what do you suffer from?

Depressingly, after 6 years of traveling and testing we are back to square one. Have a pacemaker in now. Canadian healthcare isn't the best. Some are saying it's Pots, others are saying vasovagal syncope. "Which doesn't make any sense since I'm an embalmer lmao" Blood etc does NOT trigger a fainting/seizure episode. Now they are thinking it's neurological, do to the absurd amount of sleep I need per day. I have no doubt it's POTS. All I do now is were my support stalkings, drink a "fuckton" of water per day, and drastically increased my salt intake to feel somewhat functional. ...... And apparently as of 2016 tilt test are no longer practical. "I guess they don't prove anything, and anyone can fail it on a bad day"- Quote of doctor I traveled to see. "imo bullshit" I can't even bend down and stand back up without wanting to hit the floor. Same with raising my arms. Got tested for Narcolepsy, Catalepsy, etc. I always faint in the summer outside. Heat is a trigger, I know it's POTs. Also, tend to enter fight or flight mod in the midst of sleeping. Wake up unable to lift a water bottle, can't scream out. Usually ends with me falling back to sleep. We have had my sugar tested and it's fine. It's like an unquenchable thirst. I will wake up and gulp down 2 water bottles in a heart beat. TL/DR I THINK IT'S POTS SYNDROME. LOW PULSE&BLOOD PRESSURE AFTER 8 YEARS DOCTORS DUNNO. SORRY FOR LONG REPLY.

But POTS can't make your heart stop...

Disautonomy

@@krownca Superior veina cava syndrome? Pheochromocytoma?

Me too… but they said they have enough information so I don’t necessarily have to… I just kind of want to so the diagnosis will be on record but idk if I can bring myself to do it

@@jasmineleigh0328 Idk if you had your test already, but I just had mine today and the doctor was able to tell what was happening to me before I started feeling bad. She asked me: Are you feeling any disconfort? Nah I'm okay. Are you sure that you are not feeling anything diferent? Oh, It's coming! Then they stoped the test, It was everytning under control and also really fast, 7 min overall. Also saw some people concerned with it so: It was a Female doctor and a Female nurse and I was allowed to keep my bra on.

When you have tilt test have you paın or how you feeling so?

Yep! It’s totally normal

@@Chloe-sp7kj No it is not. Do not answer question you know nothing about.

@@003halmruhh it IS normal. that’s literally what the test is looking for. YOU don’t know what you’re talking about.

@@Justhppy2behere What are you even talking about? That's literally what the test is looking for and IT IS not normal. If your BP drops to 79/29 the test will be positive. Is it possible that it drops to 79/29? YES. Is it normal/healthy? NO.

Welp I have one tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I'd go through worse than this for some answers.

@@reneericci1398 como foi no teste, fala aí?

How did you get the POTS diagnosis without a TTT?

@@lysstopia Having obvious symptoms. My HR shoots up within seconds of sitting up or standing. I also have high blood pressure. HyperPOTS. Like it feels like my heart is working triple time 24/7 just to exist. I’ve had a CT done that came back normal and also wore a holter monitor for 3 days that only showed my HR spiking and tachycardia with movement. Laying down my HR is in the 80’s-90’s unless I have a weird episode where I go tachycardiac for no reason. They suspected pheochromocytoma at first. But tested me for that and said it was not that and my diagnosis was POTS. If I was to do a TTT I would go tachy immediately and probably pass out for the entirety of the test. So they didn’t even bother with it because it was obvious when doing the “poor man’s TTT” using the laying/sitting/standing vitals.

@@Pari_Pixie I’ve been trying for months to get a doctor to even consider a TTT after having a holter twice, passing out multiple times, and visible swelling in my legs, but they’re insistent it’s not necessary. They put me on 400 mg Toprol XL and expected everything to be fine.

Ailments don't see age!

How did it go? I'm having mine done tomorrow willing. I hope they get answers 🙏

I hope it went well! I’m 15 and have to get this done tomorrow for my pots! You’re not alone

he has chest pain prior to syncope, had it been vasovagal he would have other prodromal symptoms. Also, tilt test should have been positive. Looks like mechanical obstruction to me.

I have vasovagal syncope, I pass out and hit the floor. Waiting at the hospital for my tilt test. This normally happens with physical pain that shocks my system.

it dropped? that is not typical. especially that amount. Depending on what reason you had the test for I could see them ordering a holter monitor to assess your heart rate throughout the day. If you frequently have periods of a low heart rate and it causes symptoms, they may put you on medication or even recommend a pacemaker.

Mines does the same at night it can be up to 130 then once I sit it goes down to the 50s

Hi, I've similar symptoms. How are you now? You got it treated?

What autoimmune disease you have?

i'm getting one soon and i'm 16.. i'm nervous

@@jessicageraci6846 how was it?

Did you have one done?

@@cookingcraftingwithrose8474 No. But CT Heart can predict % of blockages, calcium in the arteries. It is as good as Angiography but non invasive, quick and cheaper.

I already had an echo done of the heart. Is that similar to a CT?

@@cookingcraftingwithrose8474 Echo is different than CT.

How did it go?

@@thescholar8018 it was not great..... They had to bring bed to lying position as I blacked out after 12 minutes The test itself wasn't that bad mine lasted 45 minutes

@@jayneyxx5063 ok sorry to hear that. i have syncope so im afraid what they are about to do to me. doing research on these tests so i wont be as anxious. do you take medication or anything for your condition?

@@thescholar8018 I have something called POTS syndrome and OI syndrome you will have to google it if you're interested lol Yes I'm taking medication I can't stand up for long periods of time due to these syndromes They will be measuring you're heart rate and your blood pressure constantly you're not allowed to talk no one in the room can make eye contact with you You can only talk if your experiencing any symptoms of you're condition It's nothing to worry about They knew I was going to blackout before I did blood pressure dropped and heat rate went really high they brought the bed to a lye down position as I could feel myself go..... You're in safe hands If you do have blackouts it's no different apart from its in a controlled environment and you're being monitored that's all the straps are a bit weird kind of like a prisoner but it's so we don't fall off lol Try not to worry You must need the test otherwise they wouldnt make you go though it 🙏🏼 Fingers crossed for you tho let me know how it goes or any questions just ask me take care

jayney xx I’m nervous about the IV, is it the same as a blood test or is it worse? I’ve had people tell me that IV’s are are terrible 😣 other than that I’m looking forward to getting some answers

How did it go? I have mine in 6 days

wait, you have to remove your bra?? i’m getting one done also. what country are you from so i know if its the same for me or not

@@miacoulton1729 I’m pretty sure you have too. I’m from america but not everything is the same. I didn’t get one done because i was not comfortable with it, but i need it. It may not be the same where you are at though. You can call ahead before getting it done to be prepared? Last sunday i fainted 3 times out of no where and then had to go to the hospital last saturday because i’ve been getting worse/ my symptoms have been worse. And when they were figuring everything out, they had me go to get a chest x-ray and i have to remove my bra to put a gown on. Atp i was uncomfortable but this is probably way different than the tilt table test. But i would call them and ask ahead of time. Sorry for the long reply😅😅

In this particular video they say ladies keep their bras on 🥰

Yes quite the charmer huh, those glasses paired with that smile... Oh and the one in red isn't bad aswell
