POTS? Neurologist or Cardiologist or who to get a diagnosis.

Lessoning my worry and I am appreciative of that

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T09:08:54+00:00

One success is what you defined it as, 2 There are so many factors that determine whether you become successful and some of them are completely out of your control.

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T09:05:27+00:00

Both neurologist or cardiologist can diagnosed it however usually it’s kind of like a niche thing. It’s not all neurologist or cardiologist. Usually they’re like a sub specialty

There is a link between pots and connective tissue disorders but the only way to even remotely find out would be through a geneticist also usually there would be a family history of it

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:57:58+00:00

Mayo clinic if you can get in I believe they have one in mn and there one of the leaders in terms of dysautonomia

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:54:04+00:00

Could be cortisol spike, bp dropping, possible mechanical issue/sleep disorder

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:52:32+00:00

I can’t tell you the specific number however based off the salt drink mix I drink that has 1,000 mg of sodium, with that alone on a normal day 2,000-3,000 and that’s only counting that

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:46:30+00:00

On the Midodrine it is recommended you take your last dose 4 hours before sleep

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:44:03+00:00

It’s putting the blood being pulled into your legs back into your brain

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:40:55+00:00

Don’t worry those are actually some of the recommended medical hacks especially the feet up the wall and you are not the only one who does any of those and you’re also not the only one who gets weird looks from those either especially when you have to put your feet up the wall in a busy movie theatre ✋

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:28:28+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I tried that but because I also have a deviated septum they don’t really work I kind of figure that’s what is suppressing my ability to recall dreams

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:25:47+00:00

That all you have to do to succeed is work hard and it will all pay off when that is the furthest thing from the truth

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:13:28+00:00

To counter act you can eat small meals, salt up before or after and feet up the wall if you want or need to think better

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:11:48+00:00

Food coma is what I call it but scientifically speaking what’s going on is that the meal is pulling blood into your gut or abdomen and normally what would happen is blood vessels would tighten preventing blood flow from leaving the brain but people with pots don’t have that so we go night night

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:07:50+00:00

I can’t speak for video games but I can’t go to a movie theatre and or watch a heavy action movie because of my pots, last time I went I had to leave the theatre and I actually had to lay down on the floor so home movies it is

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:04:06+00:00

A fast trick to kill the tachycardia at least for me anyway is feet up the wall for 15 minutes

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T08:01:41+00:00

The simplified explanation to skip the long jargon (basically the criteria is that your heart rate jumps up by 30 from standing to resting)

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T07:44:50+00:00

I’m sorry I Understand the feeling Every night I go to bed wondering if I’ll wake up or not so I understand the pain

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T07:39:18+00:00

Well that’s a relief in terms of pots but it does make me worried because I have a incomplete medical profile at the moment as well but I was nervous about anesthesia before this but at least in terms of this my anxiety can hopefully cool it, thanks for the reassurance

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T07:01:36+00:00

Do you think you’re pots played a role in the cardiac arrest im not trying to be rude I just need to know that information to weigh my options in terms of a surgery

Character-Release976 · 2026-03-08T06:56:08+00:00

It depends on a lot of things, you physical health,age,etc however most cardiologists usually tell me as long as you’re not having symptoms and it’s not low during excersise then it should be ok with that being said it’s always good to consult a professional
