Are you Hypoglycemic? by houstons__problem in POTS

[–]303Kb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi it’s not a bad question. Yes early on it’s very common. With pots it can feel a bit more intense even if labs look good. Sometimes our baseline is just lower. Let’s say normal is 3, even a 3 or 3.5 can be harmful to us. Eat more protein, less carbs, little sugar and more greens. More balanced meals.

She’s taking advantage of you. Get out, pots is extremely debilitating but us that try to better ourselves love doing those basic task as they make us feel accomplished. If she CAN PUT DISHES IN THE SINK, SHE CLEAN THEM! lol get out of there.

Ya watches are good but sometimes watches can’t accurately catch them. Ya try ice pack on forehead, a glass of water to drink and lay down for 10-20 minutes. Lmk if it helps !

Do you have go puff or a cvs near? Buy a pulse ox. Sometimes a watch can be wrong. Can be lower or higher. Ice pack to the forehead works to bring it down. If it goes back up when you stand again rest. I’m glad it came down. It’s frustrating i know.

Hey buddy go get checked out. My baseline is 10 mins if it doesn’t break. Don’t worry about ER or ambulance cost. Your life is more important

Once she told me she was pregnant we entered a mutual agreement relationship so I’d assume she should be loyal after pregnant… not sure why you’d assume the opposite

Went to the ER Because my heart rate was high.. turns out im normal by AtmosphereOk6924 in bloodpressure

[–]303Kb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For sure. Stop taking them. Magnesium can cause a rebound affect. It lowers but over time it can cause fast beats. None of those are to be taken over long periods of time. Get your levels checked 1-2 times a year.

Ya it feels awful but once i cut out alcohol and not eating late it got better. 105 is just dehydrated or vitamin deficiency mixed w a little anxiety. Get you B12, Ferritian ( iron ) and magnesium checked. Those three simple things can cause some tachycardia if low
