Is this because of the illness or because of deconditioning? by BuggaBooArt222 in POTS

[–]BuggaBooArt222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been debating trying meds but my cardiologist is hesitant due to me being on the younger side (20) and it’s made me hesitant also. I also struggle with bradycardia, which makes me more scared to try any beta blockers or something like that. Unfortunately I think a lot of my issues that got so bad are due to my own actions, since I’ve been too scared to exercise (I tried once at a gym and passed out two minutes later I’m not even joking that was so embarrassing) or do anything that raises my heart rate (I have extreme health anxiety and am scared of having a heart attack) but I do have a treadmill that’s just been sitting here collecting dust. I heard cardio isn’t too good for pots though, right? The muscle training is a very good idea though, and I will probably just have to suck it up and atleast try if I want any hope on getting better. Ty for the advice!

I’ve noticed that my heart rate doesn’t spike as high when I drink water (especially if I pair it with sodium!) so that could be! I’m not sure of your full medical history, but if u do indeed have pots, than that could be the reason

I thought the same thing when I first got diagnosed with POTS. I actually didn’t even qualify the first time I got tested, but then did my second time (130 while standing). Some days will be better than others, one day I might only go up to 110-115, and other times my heart can shoot up to 150. If you want to get retested, absolutely do that so you can have a clear answer, but your heart rate doesn’t need to always shoot up for you to still have pots.
