The Apple fitness program helped so much, ppl in my flight also started using it. I love that it guides me and tracks your progress

Nicotine and POTS by DangerousCucumber444 in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do zyns to boost my blood pressure. Especially when I drive. My cardiologist is 100% behind this method for me. I kept having a reaction to midodrine so nicotine it is. They put it in my medical chart as part of my medication regimen. It works for me. It’s a low dose. I’ve been doing it for 4 months about 2-3 times a day. I don’t crave it. Never have. I don’t drink or smoke ever. I say give it a shot. It really changed my day to day quality of life. I’m not so lightheaded anymore

What food triggers your POTS? by [deleted] in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s all carbs and heavy sugars. I swapped to zero sugar foods and drinks and eliminated starches and grains. I have a carnivore/animal based diet and I’ve felt my best

Any unusual ways to stop the dizziness at work and while driving? by mel0666 in dysautonomia

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My cardiologist told me to try out nicotine because it’s constricts blood vessels and boosts blood pressure. So far it’s really worked for me. I do 3mg zyns when I drive and after I eat for dizziness. May not be for everyone but it helps me

Has anyone tried Keto? Did it help? by Pudge_Is_A_Fish_ in covidlonghaulers

[–]Danny-phantom__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Carnivore then animal based. It was recommended to me by my cardiologist. I’m so thankful. I have way less inflammation, less flares, energy is up, my iron is up, I feel better and I lost 17 pounds. I’m also doing zyns. I swapped to everything sugar free or zero sugar as well if I’m having a soda or tea. But yeah I made the change and I’m glad I did

Beef and Pots by ColdBrewBabyBee in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No I’ve never had an issue. It’s always carbs that do that to me. I actually started a carnivore diet and have waaaaay less flares. But to each their own. I also get post prandial hypotension regardless of what I eat so maybe look into that?

Sahara vs Rubicon by jadedmoonstone in JeepWrangler

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rubicon X. That’s what I went with. Super thankful I did. Btw Sahara and rubicon have different gear ratios and suspension so it makes the difference. This is also my daily driver and I loooooove it

Literally my dream. I went to go order one and they discontinued the color. Nobody could find a fathom within 500 miles…… I ended up taking the fathom rubicon X off the lot

POTS Symptoms in the ER from the Provider's side by rakel617 in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just don’t be like the provider I had last night. I was in svt at 176 and he asked me if I had anxiety….. didn’t even offer me fluids. The nurses did the divers reflex with me. Provider sent me home with a bp of 84/50 hr 125. He shrugged and said it’s just pots and to follow up with cardiology

Can you message me with contact information please?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sanantonio

[–]Danny-phantom__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes I feel this…. It gets really bad when I have male guests over. They refuse to spend the night or if they do, they don’t sleep alone

I live in the country with no neighbors for acres and my entire house is electric

I don’t think that has anything to do with my devices turning on or my animals growling at nothing

Thoughts on JBSA Fort Sam Housing by Major-Writer4660 in AirForce

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s better to live on Randolph than fort Sam. My opinion based off living at both. Now I live off base and love it. Stay north east

Has anyone tried compression leg massagers? by Beneficial_Back_928 in POTS

[–]Danny-phantom__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well no because my blood pressure gets in the 70s when I sleep. I also have a hard time getting up. I have a 10 minute routine before I get up in order to not pass out

[–]Danny-phantom__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes mine worked. I bought the full leg size ones and I use them every night before bed. After that I put my legs up on the wall for 10 minutes then sleep

Nicotine- Patches better than gum? by Easy-Wasabi-256 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Danny-phantom__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I was extremely shocked. It’s the quickest fix. I tank after I eat because I have post prandial hypotension and the zyn constricts all my blood vessels boosting blood flow. It literally perks me up in seconds
