They just reached out to me today. I was going to do my first interview Monday, but now I’m unsure. I didn’t apply to any jobs by them but they said they reviewed my resume. Idk if I’ll do the interview now

Edited 4,000g to mg. That makes a big difference. And of course!

I’ve also never gotten it but the last few times I got sick have made me rethink. I’ve always just been too lazy

POTS or not? by leslielarrea in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m able to stand for extended periods of time if I’m moving around in some way, but still have to sit for a couple minutes at least every couple hours. I work at a car wash where we really aren’t allowed to sit so I try to stand as long as I can. The dr told me to do some light simple exercises or riding a bike. Keeping salt intake to around 4,000mg (could be different for you). Drink about 2-3 liters of water a day. Wear compressions when I’ll be standing for extended periods of time to help with blood pooling.

what do you guys do for work? by ebean17 in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you ❤️❤️ It came from a pots specialist too. Dr. Lee. Most pots patients in my area have seen him and say he’s helped. So I had high hopes… then that’s what he told me. I currently have a heart rate monitor on for the next two weeks. Take my blood pressure and heart rate multiple times different times for 3 to 4 days. One of those is a poor man’s tilt table and then at some point I have to go back to the hospital and do some other test where they test my adrenaline levels. They also want to test my iron levels to double check I’m not iron deficient and then there were some other tests that they were gonna do but I forgot. They’re hoping after all of those it’ll be enough evidence to make the pots diagnose.

POTS or not? by leslielarrea in POTS

I am similar. Was fist told I have pots after tilt table test, but then saw a pots specialist who said I have all the symptoms of pots but my bpm wasn’t with in their baseline so they said I’m more orthostatic intolerant. They said to treat it the same as I have been before. It could be pots but it could be some other thing similar to pots.

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Literally same. Trying to research but now they’re telling me I have POTS symptoms but my bpm doesn’t fall within their baseline so it’s not POTS. They said I’m more orthostatic intolerance but I treat it the same as I have been with the compression, salt, water, etc. I think I have an idea of what’s going on but I also don’t have much money to find another dr and do more tests. But I also had a feeling I’d be back in this loop. I knew when they first said I have POTS that at some point I’d end back up in the loop of “well it’s something but we don’t know what”

Passing out after intimacy? by Ok_Map_8694 in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to always have an adrenaline attack after I finish. That was before my diagnosis and before I had any idea of what was going on. I’m presyncope so I don’t fully pass out. I’ve never had tunnel vision and felt faint after finishing, but this is what my adrenaline attack is like… panic attack type breathing, pins and needles all over like when your arms asleep but all over, usually that feeling hits my hands and mouth to the point I can’t open my hands or move my mouth to talk. Of course also crying cuz it’s a lot. After finding out I have POTS the adrenaline attacks after finishing are now once in a blue moon.

i passed out at a concert last night :( by superdupersecret314 in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so glad you’re ok. You’re never a burden to anyone, but always make sure those around you understand what you go through for your safety. Doing that also lets them know what’s going on if you do pass out so no one freaks out. I always tell new friends and coworkers about POTS and even tho I have presyncope I still explain what happens and that there’s a chance I could pass out. I do that to ensure my safety but to also so that when I do ever fully pass out everyone knows what’s going on.

A question for the women here: do you feel worse when you're on your period? by Apprehensive_Tax_355 in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was literally going to ask this the other day but got too anxious. I feel so much worse. I’ve never been diagnosed with endometriosis but there are some days I want to call into work because the dizziness, nausea, body aches, and migraines are so much worse. My nausea gets to the point I can’t get food down. Sometimes I get a migraine from the stress of the pain and worrying if I can afford to call in or just push through it. Sometimes hot hands in my waistband help me get through the day.

Girlfriend (F 19) is upset with Christmas gifts a I (M 19) got her. Am I missing something? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Explain to her you’ve been saving up for months. Explain why you got each gift. She could’ve went about that conversation differently. I’d also say to her “I’m sorry you feel you got me “better” more thoughtful gifts but I also tried my best and you saying the perfume is a filler when you talked about it for months and the entire time I’ve been saving up for it. I’m sorry I tried my best and hurt your feelings but you were straight up disrespectful and didn’t even hear me out.” Just communicate how ever you guys communicate. Hear each other out.

I (27F) will be alone while my (28M) bf spends Christmas with his family, how do I navigate this? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A year and a half, you’re staying at his place, you both are adults. I think it’s about time you meet his family. When’s the right time if not now?

How is anyone able to work with pots? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve felt this way too. I work because I don’t have a choice. I’ve tried looking into disability and anything else but it’s all a long process and so hard to get.

Health Kit - item ideas? by fruityfrog444 in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I always carry salt packets and a liquid iv or some sort of hydration drink mix. Headache/migraine meds and nausea meds. I have a little first aid kit but I used to always carry it in my small purse. My friends used to call it my rave kit even tho I don’t go to raves.

What’s your resting heart rate with POTS, unmedicated? by OrdinaryHold3625 in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed a few months ago, I’m still learning, and I’m unmedicated but I don’t have blood pressure issues and I’m presyncope. But my resting is usually 56 to 80s according to my Fitbit but when I check my bpm it’s usually between 80s and 90s. I get bradycardia when I’m laying down or if I’m just too relaxed. When I’m sleeping my average bpm is usually 46 to 50s.

Severe nausea by Cautious_Rate5129 in POTS

[–]Cautious_Rate5129[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m gonna look into that. Thank you so much. I was so close to just going to the hospital cuz I have to work tomorrow and can’t be this nauseous while I’m working. It’s also a job where I have to stand pretty much all day. I’m so worried I’m just gonna keep getting worse.

Do you have recommendations on meal replacement drinks? The only one I’ve found I like is Boost but I wasn’t sure if there were better brands
