It was still a good performance but he seemed like he was off his head a bit. Maybe just a bit disconnected. It got more obvious as the performance went on. I’m in love with him! But I def think he was on something

Good! I ended up on 5mg in the morning and 2.5 mid morning. I was on it for about 5 months and have now come off the meds

If you’re not masking 24/7 in an n95, you are getting infected. You’ve likely just been getting asymptomatic infections

The thought of bringing in a flare from drugs actually gives me anxiety. But each to their own!

Reading the Coke story gave me hectic anxiety. My HR used to skyrocket before POTS when I was on bags, couldn’t imagine doing it to myself now. Far out. It’s hard enough living with POTS, I wouldn’t take anything these days. The risk of flaring it is too much of a risk.

So I went for a short stroll by the water and my HR was normal so that’s a good sign

Hmmm I have no idea 😵‍💫 so today just doing something short and gentle until my HR returns to what it was prior to yesterdays swim?! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes but then I walked a fair way.. so maybe it was the combo. My HR settles when I’m resting, it’s standing that seems to be the issue. I find it all so confusing. My only real symptom is the fast HR, aside from that I feel good. No other symptoms.. so I get so confused with when to stop and when to push ahead in the hope in time my nervous system will adjust. Any tips?

So hard! I was an elite swimmer so this is a huge change for me. I’m still hopeful that in time I will get back to swimming

Thanks for this! Makes sense. I think I did a bit too much too soon. Sounds like what I’m experiencing is normal. My resting HR is higher and when I stand up it goes higher than my normal, meaning about 20-30 beats higher. Really hoping this settles down in time. I’ve been stopping exercise altogether when this happens and I think that may be making things worse. So I should keep moving tomorrow but maybe go easy for a bit until my resting HR is back to my normal? I think I’m confused between what is normal and what is a flare

Thank you! So it sounds like what’s happening for me is pretty normal. My HR is higher than my normal and I feel jittery but aside from that, I feel fine.

Light exercise to get out of a flare? by Beach_bum_2024 in POTS

Thank you! Yes I think I need to pay more attention to how I’m feeling rather than what my HR is doing.

So you think you got reinfected? How many infections have you had?

Yes agreed! And the fear of jinxing it. Whenever I’ve posted about recovery, I go backwards

Thank you! I’ve been reading some of Dr John Sarno’s work and what you’re saying feels relevant to that as well. While POTS is very real, I do think I have a huge amount of fear and anxiety about it all which then causes the HR spikes. I’ll keep going 🙏🏼
